This study found that FGF18 signaling helps protect hair follicles from radiation damage by maintaining the resting phase and supporting stem cell survival, potentially reducing radiation-induced hair loss.

This study describes permanent scalp alopecia in patients receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or both, and highlights the need for further research to identify causative factors and mitigation strategies.

This study reported that alopecic lesions after radiation exposure during angioembolization share dermoscopic features with alopecia areata, highlighting the importance of accurate patient history to avoid misdiagnosis.

This article reviews radiation-induced cicatricial alopecia and suggests that controlling radiation dose depth could potentially prevent this condition.

In this case report, a 42-year-old man with radiation-induced alopecia following endovascular embolization for a cerebral arteriovenous fistula experienced complete hair regrowth after three months of treatment with intramuscular corticosteroids and topical 5% minoxidil, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for faster recovery.

This study observed that while X-ray radiation did not alter major hair keratin composition in mice, it decreased hair follicle stem cell markers and increased Krt5, suggesting potential as a radiation biomarker.

In this study, researchers observed a dose-dependent occurrence of persistent radiation-induced alopecia in patients with primary CNS tumors or head and neck sarcomas, noting distinctive patterns and features, and suggesting potential benefits of topical minoxidil and procedural interventions for treatment.

This study found that hippocampus sparing whole brain radiation therapy (HS-WBRT) using multi-field intensity modulated radiation therapy prevents alopecia without compromising cognitive function compared to traditional whole brain radiation therapy.

This case report highlights the occurrence of radiation-induced alopecia in a patient undergoing radiotherapy for oropharyngeal carcinoma, emphasizing awareness of this potential side effect.

In this case study, Botulinum toxin type A injections were associated with improved hair growth and scalp condition in a patient with radiation-induced alopecia, though the mechanisms remain speculative.

Temporary hair loss can occur after brain AVM treatment but usually regrows in 8 weeks.

This case report describes a novel dermoscopic finding of blue-grey dots in a target pattern around yellow dots and follicles in radiation-induced alopecia following cerebral angiography with fluoroscopy.

This review identifies higher radiation doses and larger scalp exposure as major factors in radiation-induced alopecia, highlights prevention techniques like IMRT and proton therapy, and discusses management options such as minoxidil and hair transplantation, but notes limited evidence for these treatments.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl who developed radiation-induced alopecia after a neurointerventional procedure, with dermoscopy revealing specific hair and scalp patterns that helped diagnose this rare complication. The findings highlight the importance of dermoscopy in distinguishing RIA from other alopecic disorders in children.

Radiation-induced hair loss may be caused by hair growth stopping and inflammation in blood vessels.

This case report describes a patient who experienced proton-induced alopecia after proton therapy for a frontal meningioma, which was effectively treated with topical minoxidil, resulting in full hair regrowth after 4 months.

This study found that concurrent chemotherapy with radiotherapy may increase the risk of grade 2 persistent radiation-induced alopecia, while topical minoxidil showed potential benefits, though more research is needed on its efficacy.

This article proposes that androgenic alopecia might be an evolutionary mechanism for reducing prostate cancer risk by enhancing UV absorption, rather than being a risk factor.

This article does not contain an abstract and presents no new clinical findings, instead discussing prior cases and literature on infant alopecia universalis and the potential role of topical PUVA therapy.

This review discusses the clinical characteristics of alopecia in cancer patients, highlighting its potential role as an associated finding or diagnostic clue, but reports no new clinical results.

This systematic review found inconclusive evidence on the effectiveness of botulinum toxin for treating alopecia and highlighted the need for further prospective randomized controlled trials.

This report presents a case where a 17-year-old male developed severe unilateral alopecia following radiotherapy for pediatric glioblastoma multiforme, which did not respond to minoxidil or platelet-rich plasma treatments.

This article reviews the structure and function of hair follicles, diagnostic approaches, and treatments for nonscarring alopecias, but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a mouse model to simulate chronic radiation-induced salivary dysfunction, revealing dose-dependent saliva reduction and glandular changes, which may help advance salivary regenerative therapies.

In this case report, estrogen substitution therapy slightly increased hair volume in a 22-year-old patient with genetic predisposition to hair loss and alopecia caused by past treatment for leukemia, but hair loss returned after stopping the therapy.

This case study reported on a 72-year-old woman initially diagnosed with inflammatory alopecia, later identified as having angiosarcoma of the scalp, revealing the importance of considering unexpected malignancies during evaluation of suspected inflammatory alopecia cases.

A botanical extract may help manage hair loss from chemotherapy by preventing cell death in hair follicles.

This case report details a 26-year-old woman with diffuse hair loss following treatment for thyroid cancer, subsequent thyroidectomy, and development of hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism managed with thyroxin.

Square-shaped hair loss can occur after treating a brain aneurysm due to localized radiation exposure.

This study indicates that vitamin D3 administration may protect rat hair follicles from radiation-induced damage, as evidenced by maintained follicle numbers and increased Vitamin D receptor activity in treated skin.
