| Summary: | Short-term results of using Orbis II Paxman device for prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia were analyzed. A total of 98 sessions of scalp cooling were performed in 32 patients. Twenty-four (80 %) scalpcooled patients had good hair preservation. The level of comfort during the procedure was 87 %. Patients with breast cancer underwent 55 scalp cooling sessions. Good hair preservation was observed in 88% of cases. Grade 1 and 2 alopecia was observed in 12% of patients. Thus, the data obtained confirm that the use of scalp cooling methods can improve the quality of life for patients receiving chemotherapy. |
