| Abstract |
High-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) is an alternate pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis, which accounts for 15% of all sporadic colorectal cancers. These tumours arise from mutations in the DNA mismatch repair system and thus have different responses to chemotherapeutic agents compared to microsatellite stable (MSS) cancers. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. 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 03 December 2022.
All research outputs
#3,358,968
of 23,257,423 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Colorectal Disease
#106
of 1,854 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,240
of 56,928 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Colorectal Disease
#2
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,257,423 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,854 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% 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 56,928 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 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 8 of them.
