Patients Experiencing Hair Loss from Chemotherapy or Radiation Now Have Options.
It is now known that 30-40% of patients undergoing chemotherapy can have some degree of permanent hair loss.
We also know that long term hormonal blocking therapy used to prevent recurrence in breast cancer has been known to cause hair loss, with both decreased hair counts and diameter.
We would NEVER recommend stopping this life saving therapy, or any other chemotherapy, but utilizing hair loss treatment simultaneously has been shown to decrease or slow down further loss, and in some cases help regrow what has been lost.
We have found that it is important to start treatment immediately after the treatment ends and remission is documented, however, we have had success treating a limited number of patients who had had chemotherapy or radiation several years before. As long as there are hair follicles present on trichoscopy during our evaluation, then treatment will likely help with some recovery.
Fortunately, survival rates of nearly all cancers are improving, but now we need to be sensitive and respectful of how permanent hair loss can affect men and women as they recover.
