A study examining the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX), GLUT-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in 54 advanced cervical cancers reported that GLUT-1 expression was associated with tumor stage and lymphovascular involvement [26]. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is neoplasm.
