Abstract

Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of cutaneous malignant melanoma reported to have a high local recurrence rate with surgical excision alone. The incidence of regional and distant metastasis is considered to be lower than traditional cutaneous melanoma, warranting more aggressive treatment of local disease. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with DM treated through the Princess Alexandra Hospital Melanoma Clinic to address the role of radiotherapy in the local control of this tumour.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 30 January 2019.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery
#494
of 2,617 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,656
of 95,858 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,617 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
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 95,858 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
