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.

Review Description
Background: Breast cancer, a complex and multifactorial disease, is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy that affects women. Methods of breast cancer detection that are available at present have well-described limitations; the intraductal approaches directly assess the microenvironment of the breast. Objective: The aim of this overview is to highlight the application of nipple-aspirate fluid studies in the field of biomarker discovery, useful for early detection and prevention of breast cancer risk. Conclusion: Nipple-aspirate fluids can be obtained non-invasively from the breast in most women and represent a promising biological tool to assess metabolic and molecular changes of cells lining the ducts from which breast cancer arises. © 2008 Informa UK Ltd.
