First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a web-based education program can improve body image, self-esteem, and quality of life in women with breast cancer who lose their hair during chemotherapy. The program provides information on hair loss, scalp care, wigs, and emotional coping strategies. Researchers will compare outcomes between women who receive the program and those who get standard care alone.
