Abstract

Because up to 30% of breast cancer cases may relapse, understanding the biology of recurrent breast cancer is imperative in preventing these poor outcomes. Thus, we present this unusual case of a BRCA2 carrier who presented seven years after her initial diagnosis of breast adenocarcinoma with a new lump in the left axillary tail, which proved to be small cell carcinoma. The second cancer bore no morphologic or immunohistochemical resemblance to the first. However, we aimed to understand whether the two cancers could have been related.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 12 February 2015.
All research outputs
#18,388,295
of 22,776,824 outputs
Outputs from Experimental Hematology & Oncology
#197
of 286 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,480
of 352,333 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Experimental Hematology & Oncology
#3
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,776,824 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 286 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% 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 352,333 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
