THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hair loss from chemotherapy can be one of the most distressing and troublesome side effects cancer patients face, often impacting their body image, sexuality and overall well-being.

Now, there may be a way to stop or greatly reduce the hair loss that can occur with certain chemotherapy treatments. US Oncology Research—one of the largest community-based cancer research programs in the nation—and Baylor College of Medicine have recently launched a clinical trial to study a scalp cooling system designed to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss (alopecia). To date, 15 patients have been enrolled, and the study is now available at three US Oncology Research sites (listed below).
