Is there a predictive significance of ABO blood group on chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with stage III colon cancer?

Abstract: Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is the most important cause of thrombocytopenia in cancer patients. In this paper, I discussed the effect of ABO blood group on CIT in patients with stage III colon cancer. In a pilot study, a total of 131 (72 men, 55 %) eligible patients with stage III colon cancer were divided into two groups according to whether they had CIT. Both groups were compared using demographic, histopathological, and laboratory variables. CIT was detected in 51 (40 %) of 131 patients. The… Show more

“…Colon cancer is the third most common cancer and the fourth cause of cancer mortality globally [ 1 , 2 ]. Although the prognosis was steadily or started to increase by strategy for standard curative resection-based, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive therapy of colon cancer, the 5-year relative survival remains discouraging especially in low-income countries [ 3 ].…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, there is no evidence of direct association of these factors with CIT in the earlier related studies. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Several studies have reported a significant association between high ferritin and chemotherapy-induced hematologic consequences. 17,18,[26][27][28] There is some evidence that iron or ferritin has suppressive effects on hematopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation.…”

“…In these studies, the main covariates included age, type of chemotherapy regimen, prior chemotherapy or surgery, platelet count, lymphocyte count, body surface area, hematocrit, albumin, bone marrow metastases, diabetes, pulmonary disease, treatment with a drug affecting platelet function, prior episode of bleeding, performance status, Helicobacter pylori infection, level of plasma D-dimer, and blood group. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Development of predictive models for chemotherapyinduced hematologic toxicities based on simple and cost-effective markers could have substantial clinical value. In our recent studies, some laboratory and clinical predictors of hematologic toxicities (i.e.…”

“…The study discovered that blood group O was a distinct risk factor for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (P=0.035, OR 3.14, 95% CI 1.16-7.01). Unlike our study, this one lacked a control group, and the majority of the patients had the O blood group, which may have affected the findings (12).…”
