Abstract:Objective To explore the relationship between ABO blood group and different pathological types of lung cancer in south Sichuan.Methods The clinical data and ABO blood types of 903 patients with lung cancer,who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University between August 2017 and December 2020 were collected retrospectively. According to pathological types, the lung cancer was divided into small cell lung cancer group (n = 154) and non-small cell lung cancer group (n = 749). The latter group was further divided into lung adenocarcinoma group (n = 442) and lung squamous cell carcinoma group (n = 307). The control group was 1,061 healthy population during the same period. The distribution of ABO blood group in lung cancer subgroups were compared with those in the control group.Results The distribution of ABO blood group in the lung squamous carcinoma group was A (31.9%), B (39.7%), O (21.2%), AB(7.2%). In the control group, the ABO blood group distribution was A (32.2%), B (24.4%), O (35.7%), AB (7.6%). There was significant difference in the ABO blood group distribution (P < 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, smoking history, and drinking history, multivariate logistic regression indicated that type B had a higher risk of lung squamous carcinoma than type O (P < 0.05). The result showed that the risk of lung squamous carcinoma was lower when the age was < 60, compared with the age ≥ 60. The result showed that non-smokers have a lower risk of lung squamous cell carcinoma than smokers. There were no significant difference in ABO blood group distribution between small cell lung cancer group, lung adenocarcinoma group, and control group.Conclusion In this study, We found that there was a correlation between ABO blood group and the occurrence of lung squamous cell carcinoma in Southern Sichuan, but no relationship with small cell lung cancer and lung adenocarcinoma.
