| Abstract | Background: Cancer is the second cause of death in the world and the third in Iran. Colorectal cancer is the third fatal cancer in the world. Objectives: Blood group and its RH are among the genetic factors that can be associated with colon cancer. This study was performed with the aim of investigating the relationship between blood group and colon cancer. Methods: This study was undertaken in cases of colon cancer that referred to Namazi hospital from 2002 to 2011. The required data were gathered using a checklist, entered into SPSS software, and analyzed with descriptive statistical methods and Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that the highest frequencies among 223 patients with colon cancer were related to blood group O+ (48.7 percent), RH+ (90.4 percent), male patients (60.4 percent), and married people (72.2 percent). The mean age of the patients was 60.09 ± 16.04. Blood group and colon cancer showed a statistically significant relationship (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The findings showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between blood group and colon cancer. Conducting extensive studies to find risk factors of the disease, particularly the role of genetic factors and disease prevention, in susceptible people is recommended. | en |
