Abstract

Cancer is a genetic disease driven by both heritable and somatic alterations in DNA, which underpin not only oncogenesis but also progression and eventual metastasis. The major impetus for elucidating the nature and function of somatic mutations in cancer genomes is the potential for the development of effective targeted anticancer therapies. Over the last decade, high-throughput technologies have allowed us unprecedented access to a host of cancer genomes, leading to an influx of new information about their pathobiology. The challenge now is to integrate such emerging information into clinical practice to achieve tangible benefits for cancer patients. This review examines the roles array-based comparative genomic hybridization and next-generation sequencing are playing in furthering our understanding of both hematological and solid-organ tumors. Furthermore, the authors discuss the current challenges in translating the role of these technologies from bench to bedside.

Attention Score in Context

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 11 October 2016.
All research outputs
#3,550,492
of 22,701,287 outputs
Outputs from Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics
#101
of 975 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,603
of 304,664 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics
#41
of 353 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,701,287 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 975 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% 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 304,664 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 353 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
