Up to 14% of cancer patients decline chemotherapy because of hair loss. Most of their clinicians have no formal training to help them.
Hair loss is one of the most feared, most distressing, and most consistently undertreated consequences of cancer care.
Clinical Guide to Hair Care in Oncology is the evidence-based reference written exclusively for oncology nurses, dermatologists, pharmacists, physician assistants, and allied health professionals who manage cancer patients before, during, and after treatment.
Grounded in peer-reviewed literature through 2026 and the landmark 2025 international Delphi consensus on persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this guide gives you the clinical tools you have been working without:
A complete biological framework explaining exactly why each cancer treatment damages hair — chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and antibody-drug conjugates
Validated assessment scales — CTCAE, Dean's Scale, CADS, FACT-G, and DLQI — with scoring guides and clinical decision frameworks
A full evidence-based scalp cooling chapter covering DigniCap and Paxman protocols, the 2026 CPT billing codes, and a step-by-step nursing implementation blueprint
Evidence-graded therapeutic options for persistent alopecia — topical and oral minoxidil, PRP, LLLT, and scalp micropigmentation
Dedicated guidance on immunotherapy hair toxicities, afro-textured hair, male patients, pediatric and palliative populations
Seven ready-to-use clinical protocols and six patient handouts for immediate practice adoption
This is not an overview. It is a complete clinical discipline built into a single reference — written in a direct, evidence-first voice, straight to the point at every page.
The patients already sitting in your infusion chairs deserve a care team that is fully equipped for this.
