Blood type a identified as potential breast cancer risk factor

A systematic review and meta-analysis found that individuals with blood type A have a significantly higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to those with blood type O. The research, which pooled data from over 13,000 breast cancer patients and 717,000 controls, suggests an 18% increased risk associated with blood type A.
