Dosimetric comparison of hybrid IMRT and different arc techniques VMAT after breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer.

Purpose: This study aimed to comprehensively compare the dosimetric characteristics of three different radiotherapy techniques-hybrid intensity-modulated radiotherapy (hy-IMRT), tangential volumetric-modulated arc therapy (t-VMAT), and continuous volumetric-modulated arc therapy (c-VMAT)-used after breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer in the target area and organs at risk (OARs) after breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer. This evaluation aims to provide a solid basis for individualized radiotherapy planning in clinical practice.

Methods: Twenty female patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer were retrospectively selected.

Mapping the scientific research on exercise therapy for Alzheimer's disease: a scientometric study of hotspots and emerging trends.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia globally, placing a substantial economic burden on patients and society. Exercise serves as an adjuvant therapy for AD with a low incidence of related adverse events. As a non-pharmacological intervention, it has demonstrated significant potential in the therapy of AD.
