“…We also found 2 studies provided data on liver cancer, oral cavity cancer (Akhtar et al, 2011;Jaleel et al, 2012), endometrial cancer (Xu et al, 2011;Yuzhalin et al, 2012), bronchogenic cancer (AIRD et al, 1954;Roots et al, 1988), melanoma (Xie et al, 2010;de Giorgi et al, 2011), and leukemia (MACMAHON et al, 1958;Newell et al, 1974). Moreover, 1 study were found for each of the following cancer sites: biliary (Gong et al, 2012), other gynaecological (KROKFORS et al, 1954), tongue (Hartmann et al, 1964), lip (Hartmann et al, 1964), Burkitt's tumour (Williams et al, 1966), glioma (Gong et al, 2012), brain (Pearce et al, 1965), central nervous (Akhtar et al, 2011), salivary gland (OSBORNE et al, 1962), thyroid (Gong et al, 2012), bladder (Llopis et al, 1990), kidney (Joh et al, 2012), bone (Akhtar et al, 2011), mesothelioma (Utkan et al, 2013), and multiple cancer unspecified (Holley et al, 1966). The blood groups were detected using routine clinical tests in most of the studies, and only seven studies acquired the information from blood bank records or questionnaires.…”

Background: For decades, studies have been performed to evaluate the association between ABO blood groups and risk of cancer. However, whether ABO blood groups are associated with overall cancer risk remains unclear. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies to assess this association. Materials and Methods: A search of Pubmed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and Web of Knowledge databases (to May 2013) was supplemented by manual searches of bibliographies of key retrieved articles and relevant reviews. We included case-control studies and cohort studies with more than 100 cancer cases. Results: The search yielded 89 eligible studies that reported 100,554 cases at 30 cancer sites. For overall cancer risk, the pooled OR was 1.12 (95%CI: between ABO blood groups and overall cancer risk still remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between ABO blood groups and overall cancer risk, as well as the risk of individual cancer sites.1 Materials and Methods Search strategyWe performed a systematic literature search (up to May 2013) of Pubmed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and Web of Knowledge for studies reporting the association between ABO blood groups (self-reported or lab tested) and cancer risk. In addition, we searched the reference lists of relevant articles and reviews. Only articles published in English were considered. Two search themes were combined using the Boolean operator 'and'. The first theme, cancer, combined exploded versions of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) cancer, tumor, carcinoma, neoplasm or malignancy. The second theme, blood group, combined exploded versions of MeSH terms blood group, or blood type.
