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.

Book Chapter Description
This chapter will focus on the technological and clinical evolution of conventionally fractionated external-beam radiotherapy against prostate cancer. Advances in imaging and radiotherapy techniques during treatment planning and delivery, such as 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) resulted in a more accurate definition of the prostate target volume and reduced complications due to better sparing of adjacent normal tissues. In consequence, an increased therapeutic dose can now be delivered more safely with a significant superiority of biochemical disease-free survival.
