Abstract
The distribution of ABO blood groups and Rh factor was studied in 1930 patients treated at Radiumhemmet for ovarian tumour in the period 1958-1973. The tumour was malignant in 1732 cases and of borderline malignancy in 198. A predominance of blood group A at the expense of group O emerged when the series was compared with findings in 24 120 healthy conscripts. In the present series, the disparity between the frequencies of blood groups A and O appeared to increase the risk of ovarian carcinoma by 19%. The frequencies of blood groups among various histological subgroups are discussed.Entities:
