Online published on 22 February, 2013. Abstract The correlation between ABO blood type and cancer is an issue that impacts many primary care physicians. Risk factors for cancer have been assessed over the years and many strong associations have been discovered. There is a statistical association between increased risks of cancer in people with blood group B (Case study of Central Indian Population). This includes breast cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer etc. It doesn’t mean that the people of other blood types don’t get cancer; it simply means that blood type B people have low defense against it. Scientifically, the reason is quite simple and very profound. It seems that cancer cell have certain type B qualities that make it almost invisible to the immune system in blood type B people. Like wise age group 40–50 years also shows the same in case of various cancer. Top Keywords ABO blood type, Cancer, Blood group, Age, Mortality. Top |
