Summary

This study tests whether adding low-level red-light therapy to the standard hair-loss treatment minoxidil helps breast cancer patients regrow hair lost during chemotherapy. About 50 adults with stage I-IV breast cancer who lost at least half their scalp hair after chemo will be enrolled. Researchers will compare hair regrowth at 6 months using a standard scale.
