Experimental evidence suggests that the hypoxic fraction in solid tumors may influence its growth, may increase its malignant potential, and may reduce its sensitivity towards non-surgical treatment modalities (e.g., standard irradiation, certain anticancer drugs). The role of the tumor O2 status in radio-/chemotherapy and its impact on relevant tumor biological characteristics of tumors are summarized in Table 1.
