Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: From 2005 to 2008, a retrospective analysis of 496 consecutive patients with ESCC was conducted. The relationship between ABO blood group and clinicopathologic features of ESCC was analyzed. Prognostic factors for overall survival of ESCC were also analyzed. RESULTS: The 5-year overall survival of ESCC patients with blood group A, B, AB and O were 47.8%, 44.1%, 43.2%, and 38.4%, respectively (P = 0.165). However, patients with blood group non-O have a better 5-year overall survival than patients with blood group O (45.7% vs. 38.4%; P = 0.043). Multivariate analyses showed ABO blood group (O vs. non-O; P = 0.034) is an independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS:
