The document reviewed various drugs and devices for preventing and treating chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). Scalp cooling, which works through local vasoconstriction, showed CIA prevention rates of 50-80% and was recommended despite some side effects like headache and nausea. Topical minoxidil (2% and 5%) was not recommended due to clinical inefficacy. Topical vasoconstrictors like epinephrine and norepinephrine were recommended for CIA prevention, especially for their extended action period.
