Oral cancer has a multifactorial etiology and is significantly associated with the risk factors of the individual’s lifestyle, particularly chronic use of tobacco, spicy food, alcohol and smoking. The ABO blood group is said to influence the development of oral cancer. The surface of red blood cells and various epithelial cells express ABO blood group antigens. Various studies carried out in the Indian population have shown that people with blood group A have a higher predisposition for oral cancer. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol8octoberspledition/abo-blood-grouping-and-susceptibility-to-oral-cancer-and-potentially-malignant-disorders/ Abo Blood Grouping Susceptibility Oral Cancer Potentially Malignant Disorders
