| 4 | Importance and Risk Prediction of ABO Blood Group and Rh Factor in Papillary Thyroid Cancer显示文摘Objective:There are limited data in the literature regarding the potential relationship between thyroid cancer and ABO blood types and Rh factor.The aim of our study was to investigate whether papillary thyroid cancer(PTC)is associated with blood type.Materials and Methods:The present study included patients who presented to Dicle University Faculty of Medicine between June 2009 and December 2020 and were diagnosed with PTC as a result of postoperative(thyroidectomy)histopathological analysis.The control group consisted of individuals whose blood type was analyzed at a random blood center.Results:Of the 223 patients diagnosed with PTC,163(73.1%)were females and 60(26.9%)were males.In the comparison of patients based on ABO blood types and Rh factor,A Rh positive blood type was found 31%less frequently in the PTC group compared with the control group,and thus it was associated with a lower risk of PTC(OR:0.69;95%Confidence Interval:0.50-0.96,p=0.029).Conclusions:In our study,we found A Rh positive blood type to be significantly less frequent among patients with PTC.A Rh positive blood type can be considered as a protective factor indicating a reduced risk of PTC. | Dilek Geneş Zafer Pekkolay MehmetŞimşek Hüsna Saraçoğlu Mehmet Turgut Alpaslan Kemal Tuzcu | 2022 | Journal of Endocrinology Research2022，4，1： | 0 |
