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.

Conference Paper Description
More than one thousand of patients with more than two thousand of Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts were observed during the last 20 years. The therapeutic approach ranged from chemotherapy with benzimidazole carbamates (mebendazole and albendazole) to surgery, percutaneous non conventional treatment, and a "wait and see" approach, on the basis of the clinical picture, of the compliance and of the socio-economic background of each patient. The observed results, mainly those regarding chemotherapy, were briefly summarized and discussed. Most important point to underline is the need of data about a more prolonged follow-up on wider casuistries of patients both treated (with chemotherapy, with surgery, with percutaneous non conventional treatment) and not treated, to obtain a more suitable evaluation of the long-term outcome of the performed clinical approach. Moreover, a multidisciplinary approach is advisable to assure a better clinical management to patients with cystic echinococcosis.
