The analyzed material comprised 200 patients with cancer of the larynx with various locations of the tumour and patients surviving 3 and 5 years after operation. The frequency of ABO blood groups was analysed separately in cases of epiglottis cancer (n = 153) and glottis cancer (n = 37). The frequency of A-1, A-2, B, A-1B, A-2B, O blood groups was compared with that in 22,422 healthy individuals living in south Poland. The A-2B blood group was significantly more frequent in patients with epiglottis cancer and in those with laryngeal cancer. The difference was not significant after survival of 3 and 5 years.
