Evaluation of acute skin toxicity of breast radiotherapy using thermography: Results of a prospective single-centre trial. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: Radiotherapy is a common adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. Acute radiation-induced dermatitis is a frequent side effect. We hypothesized whether it is possible to capture the increase of local temperature as a surrogate of the inflammatory state induced by radiotherapy. We designed a prospective, observational, single-centre study to acquire data on temperature rise in the treated breast during the course of radiotherapy, ...
