Blood groups and gastrointestinal cancer. A comparison of the ABO distribution by site of lesion.
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous investigations in the literature have suggested a correlation between blood group A and carcinoma of the stomach (Fraser Roberts 1959). This finding was also present, but to a lesser degree, in cases of carcinoma of the oesophagus (Aird, Lee and Fraser Roberts 1960). Studies of the ABO blood group distributions of cancer within the remainder of the intestinal tract have not revealed any significant deviations from the controls (Fraser Roberts 1957). In this present investigation of patients with carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract the ABO blood group distributions in the different sites were recorded and compared to see if the distributions altered as one descended the intestinal tract.
