Summary

The leading goal of cancer treatment is to eradicate the cancer. If the primary goal is not achieved, it is aimed to prolong life, improve quality of life, or improve symptoms. Cancer treatments are divided into two basic groups as local and systemic. Systemic treatments include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted molecular therapy, immunotherapy treatments. Local treatments are; ablative approaches that include surgery, cryotherapy, radiotherapy and radiofrequency. Radiotherapy (RT) is a treatment method in which ionizing beam is used. The aim of radiotherapy in cancer treatment is to destroy the tumor, if this is not possible, to provide palliative treatment. Radiotherapy uses ionizing radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves (x-rays, gamma rays) or particles for this purpose. Pecha Kucha (PK), meaning "chat voice" or "chat" in Japanese, refers to a well-crafted, fast and concise presentation format. In a PK presentation, each presenter is only allowed to show 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each on a timer. In other words, the presenter has only 20 seconds to discuss each slide before the next slide appears, and the presentation time is limited to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Ideas are explained visually with pictures and graphics, and slides have little text.
