There are controversial results in studies investigating the relationship between laryngeal cancer and blood group in the literature. The aim of our study is to examine the possible relationship between blood group and laryngeal cancer. 251 cases who had undergone direct laryngoscopy and biopsy with the diagnosis of laryngeal pathology, in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of a 3rd level healthcare institution in the period between January 01,2014 and October 31,2020 were analyzed. The age, gender, blood group and histopathological diagnosis of the cases were evaluated. According to their histopathological diagnosis, the cases were grouped as benign (32,65%, n:64), premalignant (38.78%, n:76) and malignant laryngeal lesion (28.57%, n:56). When the groups were compared in terms of age, the mean age was significantly higher in the malignant laryngeal lesion group than in the premalignant group and in the premalignant laryngeal lesion group than in the benign group (p<0.001). Considering the gender distribution, male sex ratio was significantly higher in the malignant laryngeal lesion group than in the premalignant group, and in the premalignant lesion group compared to the benign group (p<0.001). When the blood groups were compared between the groups, the rate of te cases with blood group A was found to be significantly higher in the malignant laryngeal lesion and premalignant laryngeal lesion groups compared to the benign laryngeal lesion group (p=0.005, p=0.025, respectively). No statistically significant difference was found in the distribution of other blood groups. As a result, we think that the close follow up of the cases diagnosed premalign laryngeal lesions or laryngeal cancer with blood group A would be useful because of the high potential of the canserization of the cases wth the blood group A suffer from the laryngeal lesions.
