Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypoxia regulates gene expression via the transcription factor HIF (Hypoxia-Inducible Factor). Little is known regarding HIF expression and function in primary bone sarcomas.

METHODS: HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha immunohistochemistry was performed on a Ewing's tumour tissue array....
