Hair loss (alopecia) from chemotherapy is one of the most feared side effects of many patients, particularly women. Many patients and their healthcare providers believe that cryotherapy can help prevent or mitigate these changes. Scalp cooling has been used for more than 30 years to prevent alopecia caused by chemotherapy, particularly taxanes and anthracyclines. This article presents an overview of the evidence for this strategy, as well as its impact on nursing care provision.
化疗导致的脱发是许多患者（尤其是女性）最为担心的副作用之一。许多患者及其医疗服务提供者认为，冷冻疗法有助于预防或减轻这些变化。头皮冷却已被用于预防化疗引起的脱发超过30年，特别是用于预防紫杉烷类和蒽环类药物导致的脱发。本文概述了该策略的证据及其对护理服务的影响。
