MAY 24: TIMES OF THE INTERNET: US researchers have linked low oxygen levels in prostate tumors to cancer recurrence. Using a statistical model that accounted for such risk factors as tumor grade, prostate-specific antigen level and tumor size, researchers at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia found low oxygen — hypoxia — in the tumor before treatment to be a significant independent predictor of an increase in PSA levels.
