Survival and early recurrence. (a) Kaplan-Meier survival curve for 135 patients [50, 51]. The hypoxia score was used in a dichotomous matter (>0.35 versus ≤0.35). Patients with a score >0.35 had a significantly poorer survival. (b) Kaplan-Meier curve for early recurrence (<2 yrs) in 135 patients. Again the hypoxia score was used in a dichotomous matter (>0.35 versus ≤0.35). Patients with a score >0.35 had a significantly increased risk of early recurrence.
