Brief Summary:
This study will measure the efficacy of scalp cooling with the Paxman Scalp Cooling (PSC) device in a diverse patient population with success measured as prevention of more than 50% hair loss during chemotherapy. We propose that scalp cooling has distinct efficacy in participants with black or ethnic-minority hair types due to differences in textures, hair thickness. This study will examine the success rate of scalp cooling in black patients receiving chemotherapy for breast or gynecological cancer.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective is to measure the efficacy of the PSC device in preventing CIA in this diverse patient population with success measured as prevention of \>grade 2 alopecia by self-report using the modified Dean scale or the VAS scale in \>50% of participants using the intervention. We propose that scalp cooling has distinct efficacy in participants with black or ethnic-minority hair types due to differences in textures, hair thickness.
The study aims include delivery of scalp cooling at each chemotherapy cycle with measurements of CIA at assigned intervals using patient self-report measured by the modified Dean scale and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) outlined below.
The secondary aims are provider assessments of alopecia as measured by the NCI grading scale of alopecia, adverse effects of scalp cooling procedures such as headaches, dizziness, and pain, reasons for refusal or drop-out of study intervention.
Psychosocial and quality-of- life (QOL) effects of CIA in study participants will be measured using patient reported outcomes. The EORTC QLQ-B45 and Chemotherapy-Induced-Alopecia-Distress Scale (CADS) will be administered at designated time intervals.
