- Abstract
The article presents a study on the association between blood groups and myeloid malignancies such as lymphoma. The author mentions that blood group A is less frequent in patients diagnosed with lymphoma. They state that the main site of the tumor in the group is not in the central nervous system (CNS). They add that CNS-related lymphomas are all non-Hodgkin's B-cell tumors. They note that the association between ABO blood groups and lymphoma indicates that low frequency of blood group A is present among patients with systemic lymphoma.
