| Abstract |
Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) is an uncommon neoplasm of the lung but represents the predominant type of salivary gland-type lung carcinoma. Only a few studies have focused on the genetic events associated with PACC. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic events associated with PACC. We reviewed 24 cases of primary PACC between 2000 and 2014, including 21 cases reported in our previous study and three new cases added in 2014. Mutation profiling of the EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, ALK, PIK3CA, PDGFRA, and DDR2 genes was performed using next-generation sequencing, Sanger sequencing, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 9 successfully amplified cases. The 24 cases of PACC included 7 men and 17 women, aged 24-74 years (mean, 50.8 years). All the cases were located in the trachea or bronchus. No mutations were detected in any of the seven genes in the nine cases that qualified for mutation analysis, and the results using different methods were consistent. The data presented in this work suggest that EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, ALK, PIK3CA, PDGFRA, and DDR2 may not be driver genes in primary pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 04 February 2021.
All research outputs
#6,961,889
of 22,828,180 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#194
of 1,128 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,193
of 268,887 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#8
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,828,180 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,128 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% 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 268,887 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 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 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.
