Abstract

Adult Aged Aged 80 and over Carcinoma Squamous Cell Cell Hypoxia Female Gene Expression Profiling Head and Neck Neoplasms Humans Immunohistochemistry Male Middle Aged Neoplasm Staging Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Reproducibility of Results Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction Sensitivity and Specificity Transcriptome
Tumour hypoxia is associated with a poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), however there is no accepted method for assessing hypoxia clinically. We aimed to conduct a technical validation of a hypoxia gene expression signature using the TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA) platform to investigate if this approach reliably identified hypoxic tumours.
