title: Blood group specific substances in saliva of patients with cervical carcinoma.
abstract: Secretion of blood group specific substances in saliva of 380 patients with carcinoma of the cervix was studied, along with age-matched controls. The study shows that carcinoma of the uterine cervix is much more common in non-secretors (55.0%) than in secretors (45.0%). Statistically, this difference was found to be highly significant (P less than 0.001).+
