This narrative systematic review reports that gel-based, cryogel, and silicone-based cooling caps offer cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternatives to traditional machine-operated systems for preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, particularly benefiting low-income and low-resource settings.

This study used numerical models to explore the cooling power required by different scalp cooling devices to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, finding that coolant temperature significantly influences scalp tissue temperatures.

In this study, scalp hypothermia with the Theracool™ cooling machine was largely ineffective for preventing alopecia in breast cancer patients undergoing a chemotherapeutic regimen including cyclophosphamide and anthracyclines.

This review discusses the incidence, reversibility, and impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and concludes that scalp cooling is the most effective prevention method in most cases, though some questions remain.

This source reports that scalp cooling is currently the only safe and FDA-cleared method to potentially reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss, with about a 50% chance of maintaining sufficient hair to avoid needing a wig.

Scalp hypothermia can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss but is not suitable for all patients, and more research is needed to improve prevention methods.

In this review, the authors examine the causes, risk factors, and management strategies for chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting its psychological impact and underscoring the role of healthcare providers, especially nurses, in supporting patients through this distressing side effect.

This paper provides an overview of scalp cooling as an effective and safe intervention for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, addressing its impact on cancer patients and survivors.

This study developed sodium alginate and epigallocatechin gallate cryogels cross-linked with ferric ions, showing that they have strong antibacterial properties and rapid hemostatic abilities, making them promising candidates for wound dressing applications.

This literature review reported that scalp hypothermia significantly decreases the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, increasing effectiveness by 2.7-fold in controlled clinical trials and 3.9-fold in randomized trials, and highlighted a need for standard guidelines for its use.

Advancements in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery improve techniques and patient satisfaction.
