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.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patients undergoing radiation | Other | In this study, patients undergoing radiation treatment will undergo thermography imaging during radiation treatment course. Patients will be evaluated with thermography imaging every 5 fraction of radiation, starting prior to the first radiation treatment, periodically, until the end of radiation therapy (a period of several weeks). |

The tumor size will be measures to evaluate the efficacy of the radiation treatment.
| The tumor size in cubic cm will be mesured prior to first fraction of radiation, and 2 weeks following the end of radiation session. Time for final evaluation: approximately 6-7 weeks. |
