Abstract

Whether metastasis-specific genetic alterations exist remains controversial. The study by Yates et al. in this issue of Cancer Cell provides evidence that metastases emerge late during primary breast cancer progression and that additional driver mutations are often acquired, posing both challenges and opportunities for precision treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 September 2017.
All research outputs
#4,654,210
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Cell
#1,988
of 3,149 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#75,222
of 327,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Cell
#27
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,149 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 37.3. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,503 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
