متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Scalp Cooling to Prevent Chemotherapy–Induced Alopecia
One way of treating cancer is by chemotherapy. Side–effects of chemotherapy include hair loss. Cooling the scalp during treatment can reduce hair loss. For this cooling, a cap containing a cold fluid (cold cap) is used. However, the rate of success of this method varies strongly, because precise mechanisms of preservation are unknown. Temperature and perfusion are thought to play an important r...
