Solid tumours often present regions of transient hypoxia with subsequent reoxygenation. This has been found to be associated to resistance to treatment and a more aggressive phenotype. We present an approach to characterise the influence that systemic changes in blood oxygenation have in the tumour microenvironment and separate those that are specific to the tumour. We compare the approach in two colorectal tumour xenograft models.
