Scalp cooling to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia

Abstract: Chemotherapy-induced alopecia causes an important impact on cancer patients and its risk of persistence is currently a considerable issue in cancer survivors.

Researchers have increasingly investigated the efficacy of scalp cooling technology to measure physical preservation, consider the rate of hair loss, and measure the degree of satisfaction.…”
