Expression of erythropoietin and its receptor increases in colonic neoplastic progression: The role of hypoxia in tumorigenesis
Background: Tissue hypoxia is a characteristic patho-physiologic property of colorectal cancer. This process may also add to a therapeutic problem of solid tumor resistance to chemo- and radiation therapy. Erythropoietin (Epo) expression is induced by tissue hypoxia. Acting via its receptor (EpoR),...
