Claim:
1. A method for non-invasive monitoring of an intrabody region of a patient, comprising: attaching a non-invasive probe of a monitoring device to a body of a patient; intercepting, by said monitoring device, electromagnetic (EM) radiation from a cancerous tissue in the intrabody region of a patient undergoing oncological therapy in a plurality of EM radiation sessions during a period of said oncological therapy; calculating by a hardware processor an expected signal based on anatomical reconstruction of a region of interest comprising said cancerous tissue and based on an expected change of a dielectric related property of the cancerous tissue in the intrabody region, said expected change is triggered by a member selected from a group consisting of a change in a tumor density in the cancerous tissue, cancerous tumor growth, and tumor remission; detecting a physiological pattern of said cancerous tissue during said period of said oncological therapy according to an analysis of a plurality of resultant signals of the EM radiation intercepted in each of two or more different EM radiation sessions of said plurality of EM radiation sessions and said expected signal; and outputting a notification indicating said physiological pattern; wherein said EM radiation propagates from said cancerous tissue through at least a skin layer of said patient.
