Abstract:
To study the correlation between pancreatic cancer and ABO blood groups in Chinese Hans. A case control study comprising 691 pancreatic cancer patients and 1199 hospitalized non neoplastic controls and 40980 normal controls was studied. The value of OR and its 95% CI to estimate the relative risk of ABO blood groups to cancer patients was calculated. The results showed blood group A was a risk factor of pancreatic cancer(OR=1 29, 95%CI=1 01~1 64), and blood group B individuals seems to be unsusceptible to pancreatic cancer(OR=0 74, 95%CI=0 57~0 96) compared with the hospitalized non neoplastic controls, but there was no relation of ABO blood groups to pancreatic cancer when compared with the normal controls in both sexes.
