Lack of correlation between blood group and HER-2 status in adenocarcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract

Abstract: The assessment of the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) status has become a routine diagnostic procedure for patients with advanced-stage gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible correlation between the HER-2 status and the ABO blood group. HER-2 status determination and routine ABO typing was performed according to current standards. We evaluated the correlation between the HER-2 status and the ABO and Rhesus (Rh) system in 100 consecutive patients wit… Show more

“…In a study of 100 upper gastrointestinal cancer patients, any relationship could not be established between human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positivity and blood type. [23][24][25] Any relationship between blood type and HER2 positivity could not be found in breast cancer in another study. 24 Another study with 426 breast cancer patients detected no relationship between blood type and HER2, estrogen, and progesterone receptor positivity.…”
