Scalp Cooling Treatment
The Steeplechase Cancer Center now offers Paxman Scalp Cooling treatment
for cancer patients to help prevent hair loss caused by certain chemotherapy drugs.
Chemotherapy drugs attack rapidly dividing cells in the body, including
hair follicles. Patients may begin experiencing hair loss two weeks after
beginning chemotherapy treatment.
Scalp cooling helps lower the temperature of the scalp, reducing blood
flow around hair follicles to prevent hair loss. Patients get their own
silicone cap with an insulated cover. Scalp cooling begins 30 minutes
prior to chemotherapy infusion and continues during treatment and for
up to 90 minutes after treatment.
The Paxman Scalp Cooling System was developed in England and has helped
more than 100,000 cancer patients in more than 32 countries worldwide
to retain their hair during chemotherapy.
The treatment has been FDA cleared for use with patients with all solid
tumors, except head and neck cancers.
