Objective To investigate the effects of whole breast combined with regional nodal hypofractionated radiotherapy compared with conventional fractionated radiotherapy on peripheral lymphocyte count (PLC) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 94 patients with breast cancer who underwent breast-conserving surgery in Tangshan People’s Hospital between April 2022 and April 2024. All patients received whole breast combined with regional nodal radiotherapy. These patients were divided into hypofractionated radiotherapy group (n = 42) and conventional fractionated radiotherapy group (n = 52) according to radiotherapy regimen. Differences in PLC and NLR before and after radiotherapy between the two groups were compared using the t-test. Results Before radiotherapy, the baseline PLC and NLR were comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05). After radiotherapy, PLC decreased and NLR increased in both groups (P < 0.05). The PLC in the hypofractionated radiotherapy group was significantly higher than that in the conventional fractionated radiotherapy group (0.95 ± 0.30 vs. 0.77 ± 0.26, P = 0.002), and the NLR was significantly lower in the hypofractionated radiotherapy group than in the conventional fractionated radiotherapy group (2.86 ± 1.27 vs. 3.67 ± 1.59, P = 0.010). Conclusion Compared with conventional fractionated radiotherapy, whole breast combined with regional nodal hypofractionated radiotherapy has less impact on PLC and NLR in patients with breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
