Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Despite multimodal treatment, sinonasal malignancies have an unfavorable prognosis. The purpose of this study was to elucidate if these tumors harbor amplifications of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene, which has recently been identified as a potential therapeutic target in squamous cell lung cancer. Methods. One hundred twelve primary tumors (including squamous cell carcinoma [SCC], carcinoma associated with an inverted papilloma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma [SNUC], adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma [ACC], esthesioneuroblastoma, and 9 corresponding lymph node metastases) were assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for FGFR1 copy number status. Human papillomavirus (HPV) status was assessed by p16 immunohistochemical as a surrogate marker. Results. FGFR1 amplification was found in subsets of sinonasal SCCs (20%), carcinomas associated with an inverted papilloma (33%), and SNUCs (5%). In all cases, metastatic tumor samples shared the same FGFR1 amplification status as the corresponding primary tumor tissue. None of the FGFR1-amplified tumors expressed p16. Conclusion. FGFR1 amplification represents a potential molecular target in a subset of patients with sinonasal cancer. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
