Abstract
The skin over subcutaneous lesions of primary or metastatic carcinomas and sarcomas is frequently warmer than the apparently normal surrounding skin.1–3 Thus thermotopographic measurement of skin temperature over tumor lesions can be useful for measurement of size, vascular physiology and response to treatment.Keywords
