Intermittent hypoxia selects for genotypes and phenotypes that increase survival, invasion, and therapy resistance.
Hypoxia in tumors correlates with greater risk of metastases, increased invasiveness, and resistance to systemic and radiation therapy. The evolutionary dynamics that links specific adaptations to hypoxia with these observed tumor properties have not been well investigated. While some tumor populati...
