title: Prognostic variables in patients with prostate cancer: influence of blood group ABO (H), the Rhesus system, age, differentiation, tumour stage and metastases.
abstract: Among 279 patients with carcinoma of the prostate no relationship was observed in survival between blood groups ABO (H) or the rhesus system. Age at diagnosis is relevant for the outcome of the disease, but grade of differentiation, tumour stage and metastases are more important predictors of survival.
