| Abstract |
Esophagectomy is contraindicated in case of advanced cancer (i.e., carcinomatosis, distant metastasis, and invasion of other organs). In some cases, preoperative imaging may fail to identify advanced neoplasm and esophagectomy is inappropriately planned. The aim of the study was to identify preoperative biomarkers of occult advanced disease that force surgeons to abort the planned esophagectomy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 27 October 2015.
All research outputs
#6,358,755
of 22,766,595 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgery
#1,206
of 4,223 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#69,759
of 258,576 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgery
#16
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,766,595 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,223 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% 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 258,576 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
