    Glossary Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia

    hair loss caused by chemotherapy treatments for cancer

    Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia (CIA) refers to hair loss that occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy treatments for cancer. Chemotherapy drugs target rapidly dividing cells, which include not only cancer cells but also hair follicle cells, leading to hair thinning or complete loss. This condition is usually temporary, with hair typically regrowing after the completion of treatment.
