| Abstract |
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is an increasingly common diagnosis worldwide. Together with precursor lesions, SCC carry a significant morbidity, particularly in regions with high solar UV radiation levels. Advanced lesions are locally or sometimes widely metastatic and may be resistant to treatment. Drugs targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are currently the only significant non-surgical option for advanced SCC beyond radiotherapy and conventional chemotherapy. The role of the EGFR in skin cancer is described and the outcomes of targeted anti-EGFR therapy published to date are summarised. The future of anti-EGFR targeted therapies in the treatment of skin cancer is discussed. Targeted molecular therapies are becoming increasingly widespread and an understanding of the evidence for their use as well as their side effect profile is important in order to offer patients informed and current advice. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 15 July 2014.
All research outputs
#17,285,036
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Australasian Journal of Dermatology
#531
of 949 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,101
of 204,951 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Australasian Journal of Dermatology
#7
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 949 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 204,951 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
