Abstract :

 Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the Western world, first being cardiovascular disease . Breast cancer has become the most common type of cancer in Indian women and accounts for about 20 – 25 % of all female cancers in India. Over one million new cases of east cancer are diagnosed every year. There are several evidence suggesting role of ABO blood group in disease etiology. Previous studies suggest a possible association between ABO blood group and the risk of east cancer. Objective : The aim of this study is to found any association between east cancer and ABO blood group and also to know the frequency of each blood group in case of east cancer. Materials And Methods : The study was done in JLNMCH, Bhagalpur and private clinics of Bhagalpur including 110 patients who were diagnosed having east cancer from January 2010 to December 2015 and 200 controls who were not having east cancer. Blood group of all patients and controls were done by standard agglutination test. Results: This study shows an association between ABO blood group and risk of east cancer. A significant difference in distribution of blood group in patients of east cancer and that of control were found. Among patients of east cancer the distribution of blood groups were as follow–blood group “A” 60% (66), blood group “O”– 20.9% (23), blood group “B”– 10.9% (12), and blood group “AB”– 8.2% (09) while in control group the distribution of blood group were like – blood group “A”– 22.7% (25) , blood group “B”– 39.1% (43), blood group “O”– 29.1% (32) and blood group “AB”– 9.1%(10). In this study east cancer was found maximum in blood group “A” and minimum in blood group “AB”.
