    Glossary Radiation-Induced Alopecia

    hair loss caused by radiation therapy damaging hair follicles

    Radiation-Induced Alopecia, also known as Radiation Hair Loss, refers to hair loss that occurs as a result of exposure to radiation therapy, commonly used in cancer treatment. The radiation damages the hair follicles in the targeted area, leading to temporary or sometimes permanent hair loss depending on the dose and duration of the treatment.
