Aβ peptides exist in a dynamic continuum of conformational states from monomeric Aβ, to soluble progressively larger Aβ assemblies that include a range of low molecular weight oligomers to higher molecular weight protofibrils, and finally to insoluble fibrils (plaques). Various lines of evidence support the "amyloid hypothesis" that Aβ plays a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, and several immunotherapies have been developed to interact with this cascade in various different places which may reduce the number of soluble aggregates and insoluble Aβ fibrils deposited in the brain.

Aims: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) treated by breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy aims to decrease the probability of locally recurrent disease. The role of whole breast irradiation, specifically in DCIS having low recurrence risk and low risk of becoming invasive, is increasingly debated. Also, the added value of applying boost irradiation in DCIS has been questioned.
