Background: The relationship between ABO blood and EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between ABO blood and EGFR mutations percentage in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study, 276 lung adenocarcinoma patients were tested for EGFR mutations and ABO blood from January 2021 to March 2023. The relationship between the ratio of EGFR mutations with ABO blood and clinical, paraclinical characteristics was analyzed univariate and multivariate. Result: Median age of patients was 64 years old, male/female ratio was 3.5/1 and 73.6% of patients had a history of smoking. The percentage of EGFR mutations was 34.8%. Blood group O accounted for the highest percentage with 50%, followed by group B with 25% and group A 21%, only 4% of patients with group AB. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of EGFR mutations in patients with group B was 23.2%, lower than the rate of EGFR mutations in patients with non-B group, the difference was statistically significant with p=0.02. There was no association between groups O, A and AB with the ratio of EGFR mutations (p>0.05). Female and smoking history were also two factors associated with the ratio of EGFR mutations in univariate analysis. However, multivariate analysis showed that only female and non-B blood were the two independent factors associated with the EGFR mutations with OR = 3.4, p=0.037 and OR = 2.07, p=0.03, respectively. Conclusion: Blood group B can be a prognostic factor for the EGFR mutations in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Further studies need to be conducted to further elucidate the prognostic role of ABO blood in lung cancer patients.
