Abstract
This study aimed to assess the association between ABO blood type and incident of type I endometrial cancer (EC), as well as the stage and differentiation. 213 patients with type I EC and 300 healthy controls were included. As a result, the frequencies of A, B, O, and AB blood types among patients with type I EC were 51 (23.9%), 59 (27.7%), 93 (43.7%) and 10 (4.7%), respectively. There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, and other baseline covariates between groups of ABO blood types (p > .05). Logistic regression model showed that women with blood type O was more likely to develop type I EC than those with type A (odds ratio (OR): 1.66, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-2.63). However, there was no significant association of ABO blood type with stage and differentiation of type I EC (p > .05). In conclusion, blood type O was the most prevalent ABO blood type among patients with type I EC and was associated with increased risk of type I EC, while ABO blood type was not significantly associated with stage or differentiation of type I EC.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Previous studies have produced inconsistent findings on association of ABO blood type with EC. Those studies also did not explore the relationship between ABO blood type and stage or differentiation of type I EC.What the results of this study add? The present study showed that women with blood type O was more likely to develop type I EC than those with type A and there was no significant association of ABO blood type with stage or differentiation of type I EC.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Gynaecologists should pay more attention to women with blood type O, who should undergo more active EC screening.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There are numerous scientific data about the study of the prevalence of blood group antigens in the different donor population. Several studies showed that the profile of major blood group antigens is not similar in blood donors from different local areas. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE Our scientific goal was to study of the prevalence blood group antigens in the Georgian blood donor population. In the current study, we analyzed the 48 phenotypically combinations based on four major (ABO, Rh, Kell, and MN) blood groups. RESEARCH METHODS The blood of 1009 donors has been studied on RBC antigens. The sample were collected from the diagnostic laboratory of Medina Ltd Health Centre of Batumi. Blood typing of the sample has been carried out on the basis of the immunogenetics laboratory of Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University. The universal monoclone antibodies was used for identify minor blood group antigens. We used as forward as reverse grouping methods. For identification erythrocytes, blood group antigens also were used ID cards, such as ABO/D + Reverse Grouping. RESULT 12 phenotypic combinations have been identified in each O, A, B, AB group of ABO system. Out of 48 theoretically possible phenotypic combinations, we can actually find 1,9 times less phenotypes and the real amount is 25 phenotypes. The remaining 23 phenotypic combinations have not been observed in the studied donors. These are: 1. O, Rh-K+ MM; 2. O, Rh-K- MN; 3. O, Rh-K- NN; 4. A, Rh-K+ MN; 5. A, Rh-K+ MM; 6. A, Rh-K+ NN; 7. A, Rh-K- MM; 8. A, Rh-K- NN; 9. B, Rh+K+ NN; 10. B, Rh-K+ MN; 11. B, Rh-K+ MM; 12. B, Rh-K+ NN; 13. B, Rh-K- MN; 14. B, Rh-K- MM; 15. B, Rh-K- NN; 16. AB, Rh+K+ MN; 17. AB, Rh+K+ NN; 18. AB, Rh+K- NN; 19. AB, Rh+K- MM; 20. AB, Rh-K+ MN; 21. AB, Rh-K+ MM; 22. AB, Rh-K+ NN; 23. B, Rh-K- NN. The value of χ2 in the case is equal to 3221,16. The P-Value is < .00001. The result is significant at P < .05. Out of 1009 studied donors 349 are carriers of phenotypic group A (II), while 19 donors carry AB (IV) group specification. This means that 36.23% of the studied donors have A antigen on the surface of erythrocyte membrane. The majority of them A1 subgroup. CONCLUSION As our research showed there is a quit high polymorphism of blood group phenotype combinations in Georgian blood donors in the example of one clinic. This kind of data is very important for the clinics' rational preparation of whole blood or blood components.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inherited ABO blood group has been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of various gynecological cancers including endometrial carcinoma (EC). OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of ABO blood groups in Iranian patients with EC and to investigate the relationship between the blood group and several clinicopathologic parameters in Imam Hossein Hospital. METHODS One hundred and seventy-five EC patients were selected and analyzed for their clinicopathologic details including ABO blood group, age, menopausal status, body mass index (BMI), tumor grade, and stage of the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO). RESULTS Endometrioid carcinoma was the most common histological type in this case study. Early stages (I and II) were present in 135 individuals (77.1%) and advanced stages (III and IV) appeared in 40 (22.9%) patients. Blood group A was prominent in patients with EC. There was a significant relationship between blood group A and cancer grade (P= 0.024). 23.1% of group A had grade III EC, while this grade appeared in 35.2% of the non-A blood group. There was no significant association between ABO blood groups and other EC clinic-pathological results (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION Although there was no significant relationship between the ABO blood group and the patients' clinicopathological characteristics, more studies could provide extensive information about any possible relation between the blood group, especially blood group A, EC, and the grade of the tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A relationship is known to exist between gastric and pancreatic cancers and ABO antigens, caused by various immune modulations related to the ABO blood group of the patient. A similar relationship with regard to gynaecological cancers remains controversial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for endometrioid endometrial cancer in International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I, II, III or IV from 2006 to 2018 were identified. The research explored the existence of a relationship between the patients' blood group or Rhesus factor and the incidence of endometrial cancer, grade (G1, G2, G3), FIGO stage, nodal status, recurrence, menopausal status, parity, and body mass index. Statistical methods such as the chi-square test, analysis of variance and the Scheffé post-hoc test were used. RESULTS Two hundred and two patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer were included: 96 had blood group A, 19 blood group B, 75 blood group 0, and 12 had blood group AB. This distribution corresponds to the general blood group distribution in Germany. The vast majority of the dependent variables, such as grade, FIGO stage, nodal status or recurrence were not significantly associated with ABO blood group or Rhesus factor status. The relative frequencies of G1 and G3 endometrial cancers with respect to blood group were similar. Menopausal status, parity, and body mass index were not related to more advanced FIGO stages at initial diagnosis or to ABO blood group. DISCUSSION Blood group screening would probably not be helpful in the diagnosis of endometrioid endometrial carcinomas in early stages compared to the current gold standard. Furthermore, a specific blood group does not increase either the risk of recurrence or the risk of a dedifferentiated type of endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract
Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy because is usually diagnosed at advanced stage. New prognostic factors have been investigated but these biomarkers do not have a strong direct relationship with survival. Several studies investigated the association between AB0 blood group with ovarian cancer but with conflicting results. We investigated the association between AB0 blood group and epithelial ovarian cancer patients consecutively surgically treated at our department from 2004 to 2015. Methods: Clinical charts of ovarian cancer patients treated and followed from 2004 to 2015 were checked for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical and pathological data were recorded in an electronic separate, anonymous, password-protected database. All relevant data were extrapolated and used for final analysis. Results: A population of 265 ovarian cancer patients was analyzed in this study. 121 (45.6%) patients presented blood type 0, 112 (42.3%) had blood type A, 23 (8.7%) B and 9 (3.4%) AB. A significantly lower percentage of death (8.7%) in patients with blood type B in comparison with patients presenting different genotypes (group 0: 34.7%, group A: 32.1%, group AB: 22.2%) was found. In invasive serous ovarian cancer patients the analysis showed a 5 fold significant reduction of the risk of death in patients with B genotype. However, postoperative residual tumor resulted the most important prognostic factor for overall survival. Conclusions: AB0 blood group might be a preoperative prognostic factor in epithelial ovarian cancer patients. According to the literature, postoperative residual disease remain the most important prognostic factor also in our study.

Abstract
Histological classification and staging are the gold standard for the prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC). However, in morphologically intermediate and doubtful cases this approach results largely insufficient, defining the need for better classification criteria. In this work we developed an algorithm that based on EC genetic alterations and in combination with the current histological classification, improves EC patients prognostic stratification, in particular in doubtful cases. A panel of 26 cancer related genes was analyzed in 89 EC patients and somatic functional mutations were investigated in association with different histology and outcome. An unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that two groups of patients with different tumor grade and different prognosis can be distinguished by mutational profile. In particular, the mutational status of APC, CTNNB1, PIK3CA, PTEN, SMAD4 and TP53 resulted to be principal drivers of prognostic clustering. Consistently, a decisional tree generated by a data mining approach summarizes the consequential molecular criteria for patients prognostic stratification. The model proposed by this work provides the clinician with a tool able to support the prognosis of EC patients and consequently drives the choice of the most appropriated therapeutic strategy and follow up.

Abstract
Introduction: Inherited ABO blood groups have been shown to play possible contributions in the pathogenesis of various gynecologic and non-gynecologic carcinomas. With regard to gynecologic carcinomas, there is a confined number of studies that explored the relationship between ABO blood group and endometrial carcinoma (EC) in the PubMed-indexed literature. To the best of our knowledge, no such study has ever been conducted in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: Our study has two objectives: (I) to determine the prevalence of ABO blood groups among Saudi patients with EC, and (II) to explore the relationship between ABO blood group and several clinico-pathological prognostic parameters (namely: menopausal status [age], body mass index [BMI], tumor grade, FIGO [Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique] stage and recurrence) in Saudi patients with EC. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study from 01-January-2010 to 31-July-2014 was conducted at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — a referral tertiary healthcare institute. One-hundred and fourteen patients (n=114) were included in the study. Clinico-pathological data were extrapolated from medical records, and their association with ABO blood groups were evaluated. Categorical data were presented as number of cases (n) and percentages (%). Two-tailed Chi-square test was used for univariate analysis. For all purposes, p values <0.05 were regarded as statistically significant. Results: The mean age and BMI were 59.5 ± 10.8 years (range: 31 – 90) and 36.6 ± 8.6 kg/m2 (range: 17 – 60), respectively. The vast majority of patients were post-menopausal (86%), had BMI >28 kg/m2 (84.2%), diagnosed with early FIGO stage I-II (76.3%) and developed no recurrence (86.8%). The frequencies of ABO blood group types A, B, AB, and O were 28.1%, 12.3%, 3.5% and 56.1%, respectively. When ABO blood groups were analyzed as four different types (A, B, AB and O), O-type was the most common ABO blood group in pre- and post-menopausal EC patients (43.8% and 58.2%, respectively; p=0.14). There were no statistically significant correlations between ABO blood groups and all the examined clinico-pathological factors. Moreover, when ABO blood groups were analyzed as two different types (O and non-O), similar results were obtained; no statistically significant correlations were found between ABO blood groups and all the examined clinico-pathological factors. Conclusions: O-type was the most prevalent ABO blood group among Saudi Arabian patients with EC, and our finding was different from the existing literature, probably highlighting an ethnic-related variance. Furthermore, no statistically significant correlations were identified between ABO blood groups and all the examined clinico-pathological factors. Also, routine ABO blood group may emerge as a clinically accessible, beneficial and economical biomarker for a possible EC vulnerability. A large-sized case-control study is needed to withdraw solid conclusions.
