Abstract
Among gastric cancer patients, the Rhesus D-negative phenotype correla ted with increased tumour recurrence [all patients, n = 83, P = 0.026; curatively (RO) resected patients, n = 51, P = 0.093] and reduced ove rall survival time (all patients, log-rank P = 0.0028; RO patients, lo g-rank P = 0.0003) and was identified in multivariate analysis as the most important independent prognostic marker in the RO patient group ( relative risk 9.1, P = 0.0013).
