뇌종양의 ABO 혈액형과의 관계 = Beain Tumors and ABO Blood Groups

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives: There are several studies in the literature of the relation between blood group and brain tumor, but some have been poorly designed or have reported findings in such a way that they are difficult to interpret. No explanation has been offered for association, and studies relying on self-reports of blood group failed to confirm associations.
Methods and Materials: This report summarizes the distribution of the ABO blood type in 363 patients admitted to our hospital from July, 1998 to December, 1999.
Results : The types of tumor are 116 glial tumors, 84 pituitary tumors, 62 meningioma, 51 metastatic tumors, 50 other tumors. In the 363 tumor series, 110 patients were found to be in blood group O, 107 in group A.106 in group B, and 40 in group AB. In the 116 glioma series, 42 patients were found to be in blood group 0. 33 in group B, 29 in group A, and 12 in group AB. In the 62 meningioma series, 28 patients were in blood group B, 18 in group A, 10 in group 0, and 6 in group AB. In the 51 metastatic tumors, 17 patients were found to be in blood group A. 17 in group 0, 11 in group B, and 6 in group AB. In the 84 pituitary tumors, 27 patients were blood group A, 26 in group 0, 23 in group B, 8 in group AB. In 21 the cerebellopontine angle tumors, 5 patients were blood group B, 5 blood group 0, 5 blood group AB, 6 blood group A. The blood group percentages of a series of 363 patients with brain tumors were compared with the distribution of blood types. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test. The analyses of blood groups according to the brain tumors and the age groups were not statistical significant.
Conclusions: The blood group distributions related to the brain tumors does not indicate the statistical significance. It would be necessary to analyze more abundant cases.
