Abstract

The ABO and Rhesus blood systems have been studied extensively in relation to various diseases, including cancers. Recent evidence suggests that ABO blood group may influence susceptibility to oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and oral cancers, particularly oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The current review explores the association of ABO and Rhesus blood groups with oral cancers, summarizing epidemiological, molecular, and immunological studies to elucidate potential mechanisms underlying this relationship.
