  1. The values without a specific reference are derived from the IT’IS database43. The lower bounds of thermal conductivity (\(k\)) and perfusion (\(\omega\)) for the tumor have been fixed proportionally to the percentage of variation in the corresponding skin ranges, i.e., a80% of the baseline value; b50% of the baseline value.
