Hair loss in cancer chemotherapeutic patients.
The hair loss in 8 cancer patients aged between 18 and 60 years on chemotherapy was studied. All had diffuse moderate alopecia within 1 month of starting treatment. Of the 8, 3 had only telogen hairs and 3 had high dystrophic hair count. Both anagen and telogen effluvium are implicated.
