What are the Clinical Implications of Tissue Hypoxia?
Tissue hypoxia is a critical factor in many clinical conditions, including ischemic diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cancer. Understanding the histological changes associated with hypoxia can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. For example, targeting hypoxia pathways can be a therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment, as hypoxic tumor cells are often more resistant to conventional therapies.
