In 1901, Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood type

 In addition, in liver cancer, the risk of AB blood type is the highest, 42% higher than the risk of non-AB blood type, especially 45% higher than the A blood type
.
However, blood type AB and O can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer: Compared with blood type A, people with blood type AB and O have a 17% and 15% lower risk of pancreatic cancer
.
Another large study of 100,000 people in the United States also found that people with blood type O have the lowest risk of pancreatic cancer among all blood types.
Compared with this, the risk of type AB increased by more than half, and the risk of type A blood was increased by more than half.
It is 32% higher, and the risk of type B blood increases by 72% .
Type O blood has also been regarded as a protective factor for pancreatic cancer .
Type B blood is related to reducing the risk of bladder cancer .
Compared with type A blood, people with type B blood have a 36% lower risk of bladder cancer .
AB or O blood type of bladder cancer risk and blood type A considerable .
In addition, the ABO blood type has nothing to do with the risk of lung cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, bone cancer, and connective tissue tumors .

These findings generally indicate that blood group B antigens are associated with lower tumor risk .
In addition to cancer, the stomach cancer, colon cancer, and urothelial carcinoma, lower than the blood type B blood type A risk .
It has been found that ABO blood group antigens are also present on epithelial and urothelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, which may be a potential link between them and blood types .
From the perspective of tumor pathology, compared with type A, the risk of adenocarcinoma of type B and AB is reduced by about 16% 

 



  


 
.
When comparing Type A and Type O together, people with blood type B and AB have a 11% lower risk of adenocarcinoma
.
In addition, compared with type A blood, blood type AB and O blood are associated with a lower risk of sarcoma, lymphoma or leukemia, and the risk is reduced by about 24 to 28%
.
In terms of gynecological tumors, China has also done an investigation .
The results showed that the blood group AB suffering from breast cancer is significantly increased risk of breast cancer , indicating that breast cancer cells to a normal process, may be related to A or B antigens .

In addition, people with blood type B have a higher risk of cervical cancer than others, indicating that B antigen may be involved in the process of normal cervical cells transforming into cancer cells .
Ovarian cancer has little relationship with blood type, which may indicate that A and B antigens are not related to the malignant transformation of ovarian cells .
Although there are researches on the relationship between various blood types and cancer in ovarian cancer , they are still mainly limited to the statistical level, and there are few studies on the mechanism of how blood types affect the occurrence and development of cancer .
Therefore, the use of blood group antigens to prevent cancer still has a long way to go .
Prevention Although blood type is related to cancer, don’t panic, because the biological characteristics of tumors are complicated and require the joint action of environment and genes to occur.
Good living habits and normalized physical examinations in daily life can completely enable us to detect early.
Early treatment .
