Issue Date: | 2003 | Journal: | Radiotherapy and Oncology | Abstract: | Haemoglobin concentrations and tumour-pO(2) were evaluated pre-therapy in 30 patients with head and neck cancers. Anterior tibialis muscle-pO(2) was additionally measured in 16 of these patients. Tumour-pO(2) was lower in the most anaemic patients (P=0.032) and correlated with muscle-pO(2) (r=0.809, P<0.001). These results suggest that haemoglobin concentration influences tumour-oxygenation. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/47749 | ISSN: | 0167-8140 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0167-8140(02)00391-2 | Source: | Radiotherapy and Oncology[ISSN 0167-8140],v. 66(1), p. 71-74v (Enero 2003) |
