Endogenous markers of hypoxia/anaerobic metabolism and anemia in primary colorectal cancer.

In a series of 79 colorectal adenocarcinomas we investigated the role of anemia in activating molecular pathways regulated by hypoxia. Preoperative Hb levels were correlated with the immunohistochemical ex...
