Kolkata MCH Rolls Out Allergy Tests for First Time in State-Run Hospitals
A new study published in the journal of BMC Cancer revealed that gynecological cancer (GC) susceptibility and prognosis may be significantly influenced by ABO blood types. The most prevalent blood type among GC patients was O+, whereas ovarian cancer recurrence was associated with the AB blood type
Cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers are the most frequent forms of gynecological cancers, which can affect any part of a woman's reproductive system. The ABO blood group system is thought to be one of the key contributing elements to GCs' greater sensitivity among the other risk factors for GCs. Thereby, Syed Sameer Aga and team set out to report on the demographics of GC patients and explore the connection between the ABO blood group system and the population's risk of developing GC.
From 2016 to 2023, the current retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. According to the standards of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), the sample comprised all patients aged greater than 18 who had a blood group record and a confirmed histological or cytological diagnosis. To collect information on demographics, tumor features, comorbidities, side effects, and treatment approaches, a thorough examination of the charts was carried out.
