      Researching the impact of high altitude as well as hypoxia exposure on metastasis formation and spreading Humans living at high altitude are exposed to challenging environmental conditions – especially hypobaric hypoxia. Despite the chronical stress of hypoxia, humans living at high altitude show a reduced cancer mortality for various cancer types. Most of the physiological adaptations at high altitude occur in response to hypoxia, suggesting that hypoxia could be the driving force for the reduced cancer mortality. Because cancer malignancy and metastasis formation are the major reasons for cancer-related mortality, I investigated whether high altitude (Jungfraujoch Research Station at 3.500 m asl) and the related hypoxia decrease primary tumor growth and reduces metastasis formation.
