Recognizing the characteristics of different subtypes and investigating the promising strategies for each subclass are of great significance in precise treatment. In this study, we systematically evaluated hypoxia-mediated patterns together with immune characteristics of 309 OSCC patients in the TCGA training set and 97 patients in the GSE41613 testing set. We further identified two different hypoxia subtypes with distinct immune microenvironment traits and provided treatment programs for the two subclasses. In order to assess hypoxia level individually, we finally constructed a hypoxia-related risk score, which could predict the clinical outcome and immunotherapy response of OSCC patients. In summary, the recognition of different hypoxia patterns and the establishment of hypoxia-related risk score might enhance our understanding of the tumor microenvironment of OSCC and provide more personalized treatment strategies in the future.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Then, the “glmnet” R package was performed to filter the prognosis-related hypoxia genes by LASSO Cox regression analysis with a 10-fold cross-validation.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:34888229", "locator": "sections[11] \"Development and Validation of Predictive Risk Score\" paragraph 2", "quote": "Then, the “glmnet” R package was performed to filter the prognosis-related hypoxia genes by LASSO Cox regression analysis with a 10-fold cross-validation."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/ Supplementary Material .
