Cancer Patients & Hair Loss

Hair loss is one of the most well known side effects of cancer treatment. Cancer drugs may cause:

• Mild thinning of your hair
• Partial hair loss, or loss of patches of hair
• Complete hair loss (alopecia)

 ​Generally, chemotherapy is the type of cancer drug treatment most likely to cause hair loss. Complete hair loss is very unlikely with any other type of treatment. But some other cancer drugs can cause hair thinning. We can't tell beforehand who will be affected or how badly. Some drugs are more likely to cause hair loss than others.
