Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Hypoxia presents a salient feature investigated in most solid tumors that holds key roles in cancer progression, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Here, we aimed to construct a hypoxia-derived gene signature for identifying the high-risk GBM patients to guide adjuvant therapy and precision nursing based on signs of hypoxia.
