Abstract
The use of focused microwave thermal therapy as an adjuvant to radiatior and chemotherapy for breast cancer treatment continues to be an active a of research with the aim of reducing local recurrence, as well as reducing harmful side effects and cosmetic harm of traditional treatments. With it, there is a clinical need for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of subcutaneous heat deposition.
