Chemo cold cap: Cancer patients keep their hair

BACKGROUND:  The chemo cold cap is soft, elastic, covered by a thermo insulate that is used to cool the scalps metabolism and blood flow, to protect the hair follicles from chemo drugs.  Hair loss is an inevitable side effect of chemotherapy and it is not a medical issue. Hair loss occurs because chemotherapy targets all rapidly diving cells, healthy cells as well as cancer. Hair follicles, the structures in the skin filled with tiny blood vessels that make hair, are some of the fastest-growing cells in the body. When healthy, hair follicles divide every 23 to 72 hours, but as the chemo does its work against cancer cells, it also destroys hair cells. Within a few weeks of starting chemo, patients may lose some or all of their hair. Drug induced alopecia occurs in over 80 percent of patients and represents a major psychological fall back for patients.  The cold cap treatments have been successfully used in Europe, New Zealand the United Kingdom for years.  Now backed by clinical studies the U.S is beginning to look at cold caps for hair retention.
