Cox and logistic regression models assessed the association of AB0 blood group antigen and Rhesus factor expression with tumor biologic features and outcomes, respectively.RESULTS: In total, 119 patients (43.9%) had blood group antigen A0, 42 patients (15.4%) antigen B0, 15 patients (5.5%) antigen AB, and 95 patients (35.0%) the antigen 00. A total of 231 patients (85.2%) were Rhesus factor positive. The AB0 blood group antigen expression was associated with a higher tumor grade (P = 0.049) and sessile tumor architecture (P = 0.019). Both, AB0 blood group system and Rhesus factor expression, were associated with worse performance status (P = 0.024, and P = 0.003, respectively). In contrast, Rhesus factor expression status was not associated with any clinicopathologic characteristics. Neither the AB0 blood group antigens nor the Rhesus factor was associated with survival.CONCLUSION: AB0 blood group antigens and Rhesus factor expression are not associated with survival. The association of the AB0 blood group antigens with adverse pathological features warrants further validation.",
