Alopecia (hair loss) is often singled out as the most distressing side-effect of cancer chemotherapy treatment. This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of the research literature on scalp cooling, a procedure introduced to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia. In spite of a considerable amount of research (both nursing and medical) over a 15-year period, the evidence on scalp cooling is inconclusive. Although concerned with a specialist issue, this paper may interest the general reader as it illustrates the value of a literature review in raising questions about current practice and in identifying issues for future research.
脱发通常被认为是癌症化疗最令人苦恼的副作用。本文对头皮冷却这一用于预防化疗引起脱发的方法的研究文献进行了全面且批判性的综述。尽管在15年期间进行了大量研究（包括护理和医学方面），但关于头皮冷却的证据尚无定论。尽管本文关注的是一个专业问题，但普通读者可能也会感兴趣，因为它展示了文献综述在对当前实践提出疑问以及确定未来研究问题方面的价值。
