Scalp cooling to prevent hair loss with newer targeted chemo
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a scalp cooling cap to see if it can prevent hair loss in women receiving certain targeted chemo infusions (antibody-drug conjugates) for advanced solid tumours. If it works, you may keep more of your hair during treatment.
