Poor prognosis in human papillomavirus–positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas that overexpress hypoxia inducible factor‐1α
30 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypoxia induces stabilization of the transcription factor HIF-1alpha (HIF-1α), associated with (chemo-)radiotherapy resistance in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We investigated the effect of HIF-1α expression on survival in relation to human papillomavirus (HPV) status in oropharyngeal SCC. METHODS: We conducted an immunohistochemical analysis of HIF-1α protein expression and downstream...
