Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Background: Improvements in early detection, screening and treatment of cancer have resulted in a significant improvement in cancer mortality and an increase in the number of cancer survivors globally. Accordingly, a significant rise in the number of cancer survivors in Ireland has been observed. The surveillance of survivors of gastrointestinal malignancies in Ireland is heterogeneous and represents an unmet need for standardisation. Aims: There are currently no national guidelines in Ireland to guide follow-up practices for these patients. The aim of this study was to establish homogeneity nationally with respect to follow-up of these patients by medical oncologists. Methods/results: A consensus group consisting of Irish oncologists with an interest in gastrointestinal malignancies was created to address this issue, and determined that it would be reasonable to adopt the NCCN guidelines for this purpose, but that this recommendation would not be prescriptive, and should be individualised to each patient. Conclusion: We hope that this initiative may help to homogenise survivorship practices in this cohort of Irish patients, and may support the implementation of survivorship initiatives by the National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP).
