Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a hallmark of solid tumors and has been implicated in the development of advanced disease and poor clinical outcome. In this multi-stage study, we aimed to assess whether genetic variations in hypoxia pathway genes might affect overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We genotyped 598 potentially functional and tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms...
