| Abstract |
We have synthesized a cyclic nonapeptide (AFPep) that is effective, after being administered by parenteral routes, for the treatment or the prevention of breast cancer. To test the hypothesis that AFPep remains safe and efficacious after oral administration, three different whole-animal bioassays were utilized, and the mechanism by which AFPep functions was investigated. |

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 09 November 2008.
All research outputs
#7,658,506
of 23,314,015 outputs
Outputs from Breast Cancer Research and Treatment
#1,697
of 4,708 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,854
of 67,667 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Breast Cancer Research and Treatment
#9
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,314,015 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,708 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 67,667 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
