The relation of cancer to ABO groups was studied in 2590 patients with malignant lesions of different sites (except for gastric tumours), in 171 cases of leukemia, and in 117 cases of Hodgkin's disease. 9607 Mood donors were kept as controls. A prevalence of the A group was observed in tumours of the esophagus (148 cases), of the uterus and ovary (188 cases), in myeloid leukemia (71 cases), and in Hodgkin's disease (117 cases). A prevalence of the 0 group was observed in the 37 patients with lymphatic leukemia. However, A and 0 group prevalence was not found to be statistically significant. No relation to ABO groups was demonstrated in tumours of the colon and rectum (489 cases), larynx (121), lung (806), prostata (111), urinary bladder (120), kidney (71), liver and biliary tract (200), and breast (344). The study of larger series of cases is advised for a better evaluation of the relation between cancer and ABO groups.
