Abstract

Randomized adjuvant trials continue to show significant reductions in distant recurrence and death for early-stage women treated with adjuvant trastuzumab. BCIRG-006 showed superior disease-free and overall survival of two trastuzumab-containing regimens in comparison to a non-trastuzumab-containing regimen. The rates of disease-free and overall survival were not statistically different for the two trastuzumab-containing arms. Ongoing study is needed to identify markers of resistance to trastuzumab and incorporate newer agents in the adjuvant setting in order to further decrease rates of distant recurrence and death from HER2-positive breast cancer.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 30 April 2012.
All research outputs
#16,046,765
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Breast Cancer Research
#1,429
of 2,052 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#106,522
of 175,005 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Breast Cancer Research
#28
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,052 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.2. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% 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 175,005 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
