Table 3 Clinicopathological parameters of the series of 295 invasive breast carcinomas together with correlation analyses of cytoplasmic and nuclear factor-inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (FIH-1) expression

From: Cytoplasmic location of factor-inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor is associated with an enhanced hypoxic response and a shorter survival in invasive breast cancer
