A member asked:
Is their any direct correlation between blood type and cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: There are some articles in the international literature that indicate that some blood types, especially type a, may be associated with development of cancers and survival of cancers. Some popular medical writers propose dietary changes for specific blood types - i'm not very familiar with that. I hope this helps. Good luck.
