As an aside, here's an interesting study on tumor hypoxia that reveals its incredible complexity (unlike Vinmantoo's sloganeering)

Some highlights:

Recently we unexpectedly found that hypoxia (10% O2) strongly inhibited tumor growth of lung cancer in nude rats. We therefore extensively investigated the role of hypoxia in tumor progression in this study. We hypothesized that hypoxia may not be a factor favoring tumor progression of lung cancer.

A recent report showed that systemic hypoxia promoted prostate cancer growth in mice [29]. However, another study found no significant change either in primary tumor growth or in lung metastasis in a transgenic mouse breast cancer model after exposing the mice to hypoxia [30]. Therefore, in spite of much work done in different laboratories, the precise role of hypoxia on tumor progression is far from being completely understood [31].

You can see how simplistic Vinmantoo's opinion becomes in light of this. Hypoxia can in fact NOT be involved in tumor progression AT ALL. (That splash you heard is Vinman being blown out of the water.) It can be acute. It can be chronic. It is poorly understood in any case. And yet Vinman Mickey Mouse has it ALL figured out.
