Cancer risk by blood type

American scientists have made a sensational discovery: in their opinion, the risk of developing and developing cancer may depend on the blood type. The hosts of the Live Healthy program on Channel One are also convinced that such an addiction exists.

Let us note right away: a blood group in itself does not mean that a person will necessarily suffer from a disease “characteristic” of it. There are many factors at play here, and blood type is just one of them. But forewarned means forearmed, and it is better to know what you should especially be afraid of.

So, what threatens those who have blood group I.

The main risk of owners of the first blood group (which, by the way, is the most common among Europeans) is a duodenal ulcer. The probability of developing this disease in people with the first blood group reaches 40%.

It is believed that the first blood group causes the development of membrane receptors on the gastric mucosa that are sensitive to Helicobacter (bacteria that cause peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis, in some cases, is one of the causes of the development of gastric lymphoma). For this reason, in people with this blood group, the resistance of the gastric mucosa to the action of digestive enzymes is reduced.

To examine the duodenum, a gastroscopy should be performed. If a stomach ulcer is detected, it should be treated with antibiotics.

People with second blood group have a predisposition to gastritis with low acidity. Alas, scientists have found that those with the second blood group have a 20% higher chance of developing stomach cancer than those with other blood groups. This cancer is dangerous because it develops asymptomatically. The first symptoms may appear only at a late stage of development, when this disease is difficult to cure. To prevent stomach cancer, you need to periodically do gastroscopy.

Studies have shown that people with the third blood group have a significantly increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is very dangerous, as it develops rapidly.

To prevent such a problem, people with the third blood group should do an ultrasound of the pancreas. Such a study should be carried out on an empty stomach in the morning or after 6-8 hours of fasting. On the eve of the study, you should not eat legumes and cabbage, as they contribute to abundant gas formation, which can prevent the doctor from seeing the pancreas. People with the third blood group need to do such a study at least once a year, since the sooner pancreatic cancer is detected, the more a person has a chance to survive. It is worth remembering that smoking and drinking alcohol greatly increases the risk of developing these cancers.

According to American scientists, carriers fourth blood group are more likely to get senile memory problems than people with other blood types. Note that the fourth blood group on the planet is the rarest. It includes about 4% of the world’s population.

Alas, pancreatic cancer is also diagnosed quite often in people with the fourth blood group. But peptic ulcer, lung diseases (pneumonia, bronchitis) pursue them much less often.
