Abstract

The rapid implementation of precision medicine tools in diagnosing and treating breast cancer (BC) has widened the potential therapeutic options for patients. The applications of gene sequencing, including next-generation gene sequencing (NGS), have led to numerous questions on how to validate, implement, interpret, prioritize and operationalize precision medicine tools to deliver meaningful and impactful interventions. Limited benefit has been portended with earlier experiences of NGS-driven treatment, in BC. However, the development and use of frameworks of clinical actionability of genomic alterations, for example, detected with NGS, has resulted in better patient selection, and potentially higher therapeutic value. The European Society for Medical Oncology Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets (ESCAT) is a framework that includes five tiers of clinical actionability, with tier 1 reserved for approved drugs with demonstrated benefits for targetable genomic alterations. The re-analysis of clinical studies by grouping the genomic alterations and matched drugs with ESCAT, in high vs lower tiers has demonstrated a significant benefit portended by high tiers alterations, with the availability of efficacious treatments. As a result, frameworks for actionability, like ESCAT, should be fundamental in developing and implementing NGS-driven, and broadly, precision medicine research and treatments.

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 04 January 2024.
All research outputs
#20,864,373
of 25,634,695 outputs
Outputs from Cancer treatment and research
#131
of 191 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#241,426
of 346,908 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer treatment and research
#3
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,634,695 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 191 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.7. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% 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 346,908 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% 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.
