As the management of the side effects of chemotherapy becomes a priority in the field of oncology, research into treatments such as scalp cooling and cryocompression for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy has become essential.
In this section, you will find a variety of articles exploring the latest developments and leading research on the use of cryogenic caps.
These studies and publications provide detailed and up-to-date information on the efficacy, applications and benefits of this innovative technique to mitigate hair loss and other side effects during chemotherapy treatment.
Estimated hair loss without scalp cooling (without cap):
That is, out of every 100 patients on your type of chemotherapy, approximately XX% experience significant hair loss.
Estimation of hair loss with scalp cooling (with cap):
That is, out of every 100 patients using scalp cooling, hair is retained in a remarkable XX% of cases.
This data has been analysed and compiled from several dozen scientific studies and articles published in prestigious journals. Using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, the results have been processed and combined to provide an accurate and up-to-date picture of the likelihood of hair loss in chemotherapy treatments.
The use of cooling caps may not be appropriate for certain types of cancer or chemotherapy treatments, such as leukaemias and lymphomas. In patients with metastases to the scalp or any area of the head (including the skull and meninges), the decision on the use of cooling should be assessed on an individual basis and always under the supervision of a specialised medical team.
Here you will find published scientific studies, carefully analysed, translated and interpreted using artificial intelligence to facilitate their understanding and application in the management of the side effects of chemotherapy.
