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
Many patients who present with primary malignant disease of the head and neck are examined under anaesthesia to see if they have synchronous tumours. Although previous studies have attempted to establish whether this is either efficient or cost-effective, the patients included tended to include heterogeneous index sites as well as newly-diagnosed and previously-diagnosed tumours. Seventy-four patients who presented with newly-diagnosed early carcinoma of the mobile tongue (T1 N0 / T2 N0) were studied. None had any symptoms of other upper aerodigestive tract disease and all had panendoscopy including bronchoscopy and oesophagoscopy. Only three had serious abnormalities, of which two were synchronous carcinomas. In no patient did the findings of the panendoscopy influence definitive treatment of the index tumour.Although there was no morbidity associated with panendoscopy among these patients, the routine use of panendoscopy we conclude that it is not warranted.
