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
Background: A minority of intra-abdominal desmoid tumors is associated with Gardner's syndrome in which desmoid tumors become an important cause of morbidity and mortality if they are surgically unresectable. Case presentation: Here, we report two cases of intestinal perforation during chemotherapy in patients with Gardner's syndrome-associated intra-abdominal desmoids. One female and one male patients who developed inoperable desmoids were given the chemotherapeutic regimen of doxorubicin plus dacarbazine, followed by meloxicam. Significant tumor regression was observed clinically. However, intestinal perforation happened in both patients. They were subjected to emergency surgery, follow-up management, and survived up to now. Conclusions: The doxorubicin plus dacarbazine chemotherapy is an effective treatment for intra-abdominal demoid tumors in patients with Gardner's syndrome. On the other hand, given severe adverse events might occur, clinicians should pay more attention that tumor quick regression may cause intestinal perforation in which urgent surgical intervention is necessary.
