ABO Blood Type Has No Impact on Survival in Patients with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Evidence for an association between ABO blood type and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) survival has so far been limited and conflictive. This study applied a retrospective cohort and included 627 EOC patients diagnosed at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between 2011 and 2015. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between the ABO blood type and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of EOC patients were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional regression models. The median follow-up duration was 2.97 years (inter-quartile range from 2.11 to 4.13 years). The recurrence and mortality rates were 41.5% (260/627) and 37.0% (232/627), respectively. Possessing a comorbidity, residual disease, ascites, and advanced FIGO stage (III/IV)
