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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with porphyrin precursors is an established therapy for certain tumors. This study aimed to explore the use of hexaminolevulinate (HAL), a porphyrin precursor, for photodynamic purging of BM grafts contaminated with cells of the 4T1 breast carcinoma cell line. The optimal PDT dose was not effective in eradicating 4T1 cells when the tumor cells were mixed with murine marrow cells in vitro. However, the number of pulmonary metastases was reduced, and the survival of experimental animals was prolonged substantially when they were subjected to TBI followed by transplantation of syngeneic BM containing metastasized 4T1 cells that had been treated ex vivo by HAL-PDT. Despite the failure of in vitro experiments, HAL-based photodynamic purging could be a useful modality for treating animals bearing an experimental breast carcinoma. © 2011 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
