Cancer-specific survival by hypoxia marker score comprised of Galectin-1, Ephrin A1, Lysyl Oxidase, CA IX cytoplasmic and CA IX membrane staining, where a score of 1 was assigned to strong staining for each marker and a score of 0 to negative and week stainin. This has been adjusted for age and hemoglobin levels, 2 other significant factors on univariate analysis.
