Summary
This study tested whether wearing special cold caps (Penguin caps) during chemotherapy could prevent or reduce hair loss in people with early-stage breast cancer. Twelve participants used the caps while getting one of four common chemo regimens. The main goal was to see how many kept at least half their hair one month after chemo ended. This approach aims to ease a common side effect of treatment.
