| Abstract |
The identification of molecular markers with prognostic value in colorectal cancer is a challenging task that is needed to define therapeutic guidelines. Clinical factors are insufficient to identify those patients with stage II at risk of relapse or those patients with stage III at low risk. There is a current effort to define a consensus in molecular subtypes based on expression profiles, which are characterized by a distinctive prognostic outcome. Also several gene expression signatures based on individual genes have been proposed to predict prognosis, but they show low consistency and reproducibility. Slattery et al. describe a pathway-based approach to analyze gene expression differences between normal and colon cancer tissues. The most interesting finding is that having more deregulated pathways is associated with good prognosis. If these findings are properly validated, new insights into the mechanisms of colon carcinogenesis may be revealed.Please see related article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12916-015-0292-9 . |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 14 March 2017.
All research outputs
#6,760,291
of 25,394,081 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medicine
#2,640
of 4,011 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#74,131
of 279,981 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medicine
#69
of 82 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,081 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,011 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 45.5. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 279,981 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 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 82 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
