Clinicopathological characteristics of patients and tumor samples examined.
1 Outcome: Relapsed = relapsed NB after chemotherapy; Resid. Disease = residual NB after chemotherapy; Cont. remiss. = NB in continuous remission.
2 DNA ploidy is displayed as index of DNA content: 1 = diploidy; >1 = hyperdiploidy; <1 = hypodiploidy; na = not available.
3 Histology: UH = unfavorable FH = favorable.
4 N-myc amplification status: + = amplified; - = normal.
5 The protein expression level of HIF-1α, PDK1 and PHD3, obtained by immunohistochemical staining, is expressed as percentage of positive cells: <1% or 1–20% = low positivity; 21–50% = medium positivity; 51–70% or 71–100% = high positivity.
