Abstract:
The hospital records of 48 patients undergoing retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for testicular carcinoma between 1971 and 1980 were reviewed with respect to blood group. In contrast to a recent report which suggested an unusually high frequency of blood group A among patients with testicular carcinoma, no correlation between blood type and testicular carcinoma was noted in this group. The blood group frequencies observed in this study group were consistent with the reported blood group frequencies for the general population.
