| Abstract |
It is unclear whether patients with few cerebral metastases benefit from whole-brain irradiation added to radiosurgery. Since primary tumors disseminating to the brain show different behavior, this question should be answered separately for each tumor type. This study compared both treatments in patients with 1-3 cerebral metastases from lung cancer. |

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 11 December 2014.
All research outputs
#17,734,890
of 22,774,233 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#4,956
of 8,282 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#247,586
of 361,188 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#98
of 161 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,774,233 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,282 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% 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 361,188 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 161 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
