Hair Loss - Chemotherapy

What is hair loss and how is chemotherapy related?

  • Hair loss (alopecia) is one of the most distressing side effects of chemo treatments.
  • Chemotherapy affects all cells in the body, including the cancer cells. The hair follicles are very sensitive because those cells multiply rapidly just like the cancer cells.
  • Side effects of chemotherapy is temporary becausethe normal cells will repair themselves,
  • Hair loss does not occur with all chemotherapy. But the hair fall depends on the drugs and dosages.
  • Hair loss may occur as early as the second or third week after the first cycle of chemotherapy, although it may not happen until after the second cycle of chemotherapy.
  • Hair loss can be sudden or slow. Patients may lose all of your hair or just some of it.
  • Hair comes out in clumps rather than an even pattern.
  • Hair loss can happen including eyelashes, eyebrows, and even pubic hair.

In cases of chemotherapy-induced hair loss, your hair growth will resume after treatments.

  • Hair growth may take from three to six months after therapy is completed or it may start growing back while you are still receiving chemotherapy. Chemo patients should be prepared for "new" hair with a slightly different color, texture, or curl.

Can you prevent hair loss during chemo treatments?

There is no treatment for chemotherapy hair loss prevention. Several treatments are tried as possible ways to prevent hair loss, but none has been absolutely effective.

Scalp cooling caps (scalp hypothermia) is one of the hair loss prevention method. Tight bands or ice caps are used during chemo treatment to limit chemotherapy exposure to hair follicles, which helpsreduce the hair loss.Duringthe chemotherapy infusions, a closely fitted cap that's cooled by chilled liquid can be placed on your head to slow blood flow to your scalp. This way, chemotherapy drugs are less likely to have an effect on your hair.The procedure also results in a very small risk of cancer recurring in the scalp. People undergoing scalp hypothermia report feeling uncomfortably cold and having headaches. However, this area doesn't receive the same dose of chemotherapy as the rest of your body.
