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.
Detailed description:
According to the report of the World Health Organization, the increase in cancer is
predicted to be over 70% by 2020 in developing countries.
While a significant increase in the life span of cancer patients has been achieved with
effective multi-faceted treatment approaches in recent years, nutritional problems
related to cancer and cancer treatment have begun to emerge as an important factor in
quality of life and survival. Early detection of nutritional disorders and initiation of
necessary nutritional support are of great importance in increasing the effect of
radiotherapy and chemotherapy, reducing infection rates, increasing clinical response and
life expectancy. Pecha Kucha (PK), meaning "chat voice" or "chat" in Japanese, refers to
