Associations of tumour-associated (HIF-1α, GLUT-1, CA-IX, MVD, CK5/6) and circulating (VEGF-A, IGF-1) factors in sub-cohort of breast cancer patients (n = 28). Pearson product moment correlations, 2-tailed, reported as r, with p in brackets, significant correlations are shown in bold p < 0.05 (VEGF-A n = 22, and IGF-1 n = 21).
¹Analysis took account of the paired design by treating each pair as a cluster and using jackknifing of clusters, in SUDAAN.
