“…However, in the case-control study, we evidenced a significant reduction in the risk of DTC associated with blood group B when compared to blood type O [12]. This association had not been reported before; nevertheless, several studies reveal that there is an inherited element in the susceptibility to or protection against different types of head and neck cancer linked to blood groups [48,49,50]. …”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the thyroid volume in healthy adults by ultrasound and to correlate this volume with some anthropometric measures and other differentiated thyroid cancer risk factors. Study Design: Thyroid volume and anthropometric measures were recorded in a sample of 100 healthy adults, including 21 men and 79 women aged 18-50 years, living in a non-iodine-deficient area of Havana city. Results: The average thyroid volume was 6.6 ± 0.26 ml; it was higher in men (7.3 ml) than in women (6.4 ml; p = 0.15). In the univariate analysis, thyroid volume was correlated with all anthropometric measures, but in the multivariate analysis, body surface area was found to be the only significant anthropometric parameter. Thyroid volume was also higher in current or former smokers and in persons with blood group AB or B. Conclusion: Specific reference values of thyroid volume as a function of body surface area could be used for evaluating thyroid volume in clinical practice. The relation between body surface area and thyroid volume is coherent with what is known about the relation of thyroid volume to thyroid cancer risk, but the same is not true about the relation between thyroid volume and smoking habit.

“…Many reports have shown that the ABO blood type system is associated with the development of cancers. Type A has been associated with gastric [ 13 – 15 ], pancreatic [ 16 – 19 ], ovarian [ 16 , 20 ], esophageal [ 21 ], salivary gland [ 21 ], and breast cancers [ 16 ], whereas type B has been associated with esophageal [ 22 , 23 ] and laryngeal cancers [ 21 ]. Some reports showed that people with blood type O have lower risks for lung [ 24 ], endometrial [ 25 ], pancreatic [ 26 ], renal cell [ 27 ], and ovarian cancers [ 28 ], and colorectal adenocarcinoma [ 29 ].…”

BackgroundOral cancer is a common type of head and neck cancers. Knowing its epidemiologic characteristics is crucial to preventing, diagnosing, and treating this cancer. This study aimed to explore the epidemiologic characteristics of oral cancer in South China.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 4097 oral cancer patients treated at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between 1960 and 2013. We compared the age of onset, sex ratio, pathologic type, and primary tumor location among three subcultural areas (Guangfu, Hakka, and Chaoshan) and between an economically developed region and a less-developed one in Guangdong.ResultsOverall, oral cancer had a male-to-female ratio of approximately 2:1, and this ratio decreased over time. Oral cancer occurred mostly in patients of 45–64 years old (54.5%), and the percentage of older patients gradually increased over time. The most common tumor location was the tongue. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant pathologic type. The percentage of blood type O in oral cancer patients was lower than that in the healthy population. The male-to-female ratio in the Chaoshan area was higher than that in the Guangfu and Hakka areas, whereas the age of disease onset in Guangfu was higher than that in Hakka and Chaoshan. The male-to-female ratio was lower and the age of disease onset was higher in the economically developed region than in the less-developed region.ConclusionThe incidence of oral cancer in South China presents typical characteristics to which doctors should pay attention when diagnosing and treating oral cancer patients.

“…Çalışmamızda, A kan grubu lehine (p <0.001) anlamlı fark olduğu tespit edildi. Literatürde özofagus kanseri ve ABO kan grubu ilişkisi ile ilgili çelişkili sonuçlar olsa da bazı çalışmalar B kan grubu ve A kan grubu ile ilişkilendirilmiştir 30,31 . Bizim çalışmamızda ise özefagus kanseri için anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı.…”

Literatürde ABO ve Rhesus (Rh) kan gruplarının kanser hastalığı ile ilişkisine dair yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde mutlak bir sonuç çıkarmak mümkün olmamakta, sonuçlar ülkelere ve çalışmanın yapıldığı merkezlere göre değişkenlik gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kliniğimizde ABO-Rh kan gruplarının kanser alt tiplerine göre dağılımını değerlendirmektir. Ocak 2015-Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında Tıbbi Onkoloji kliniğinde kanser tanısıyla takip ve tedavi edilen hastaların kan gruplarının kanser tiplerine göre dağılımı incelendi ve veriler kanser olmayan kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldı. Katılımcıların yaş, cinsiyet gibi sosyodemografik verileri, kanser alt tipi ve kan grupları (ABO-Rh) retrospektif olarak hasta dosyası ve hastane otomasyon sisteminden tarandı. Çalışmaya 1894'ü (%22.1) kanser hastası, 6681'i (%77.9) kontrol grubu olmak üzere 8575 birey dahil edildi. Kontrol grubu ve kanser hastalarında kan gruplarının dağılımında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p<0.001). Malign melanom, böbrek, kolorektal, meme, over kanserlerinde ARh(+) kan grubu; pankreas kanserinde ise ORh(+) kan grubu anlamlı derecede yüksek oranda saptandı. Diğer kanser tiplerinde kan grupları açısından bir farklılık tespit edilmedi. Çok değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizine göre; A ve O kan grupları ve ileri yaşın kanser hastalığı için bağımsız prediktif faktörler olduğu belirlendi. Kanser hastaları ve kontrol grubunda ABO-Rh kan gruplarının dağılımının farklı olduğu görüldü. Kanser alt tipleri incelendiğinde pankreas kanserinde O kan grubunun, malign melanom ve böbrek tümörlerde ise A kan grubunun daha yüksek oranda olduğu görüldü. Sağlıklı kişilere göre ileri yaş, A ve O kan gruplarının kanser hastalığı için bağımsız prediktif faktörler olduğu görüldü.Anahtar Kelimeler: ABO. Rh. Kan grubu. Kanser. Risk. Distribution of ABO and Rhesus Blood Groups in Cancer Patients ABSRACTWhen studies on the relation of ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood groups with cancer are examined in the literature, it is not possible to draw an absolute conclusion, the results may vary according to the countries and centers where the study was conducted. The aim of this study is to evaluate the distribution of ABO-Rh blood groups according to cancer subtypes in our clinic. The distribution of blood groups of patients who were followed up for cancer between January 2015 and 2020 according to their cancer types was examined and the data were compared with the non-cancer control group. Participants' sociodemographic data such as age and gender, cancer type and blood groups (ABO-Rh) were retrospectively scanned from the hospital automation system. The study included 1894 (22.1%) cancer patients and 6681 (77.9%) control group. There was a statistically significant difference in blood groups of control group and cancer patients (p<0.001). ARh(+) blood group in melanoma, renal, colorectal, breast and ovarian cancers; ORh (+) blood group was found with a significantly higher rate in pancreatic cancer. In multivariate regression analysis, being group A and group...
