Tumor Monitoring Using Thermography During Radiation Therapy

Tumor Monitoring Using Thermography During Radiation Therapy

This research aims to investigate the correlation between tumor temperature difference and biological factors, such as size, metabolism, treatment response, and tumor aggressiveness.

In addition, normal tissue response to adjuvant radiation therapy in treated organs following surgery, will be evaluated.

During radiation session, the investigators would evaluate the changes that will be detected by thermal imaging and correlate them with visible side effects as well as with known tumor biology factors and skin-tumor distance.

Inclusion Criteria:

• signed informed consent
• will undergo radiation therapy for palliation or curative intent due to cancer, biopsy proven

Exclusion Criteria:

• not eligible to sign informed consent
