Алопеция вследствие химиотерапии является одним из наиболее распространенных и психологически мучительным побочным действием химиотерапии, для профилактики этого состояния с 1970 годов применяется охлаждение кожи волосистой части головы.
В представленное проспективное исследование было включено 55 женщин, получавших неоадьювантную, адьвантную или паллиативную химиотерапию. Целью исследования была оценка эффективности системы сенсорно контролируемого охлаждения кожи волосистой части головы (DigniCap: Sysmex Europe GmbH, Norderstedt, Германия) в профилактике алопеции вследствие химиотерапии у пациенток с раком молочной железы или репродуктивной системы получавших от 1 до 7 режимов химиотерапии. Клиническая оценка, опрос пациента для оценки удовлетворенности и тяжести алопеции [(ВОЗ) степень токсичности] проводились в начале терапии каждого цикла и по завершении химиотерапии.
Из 55 пациентов 78% прошли процедуру охлаждения волосистой части головы плоть до окончания химиотерапии. В мультивариантном анализе более молодые женщины, еженедельно принимавшие паклитаксел или паклитаксел-карбоплатин испытывали менее интенсивную алопецию. Комплексный успешный исход (без укрывания головы + ВОЗ 0/1 степени) наблюдался у всех пациентов 50 лет и моложе принимавших 4 цикла доцетаксел-циклофосфамид или 6 циклов паклитаксел—карбоплатин. И наоборот, алопеция наблюдалась у всех женщин, принимавших тройную полихимиотерапию (6 циклов доцетаксел-доксорубицин-циклофосфамид). Для женщин, принимавших полихимиотерапию в непрерывном режиме (3 цикла флюурацил-эпирубицин-циклофосфамид) с последующими 3 циклами доцетаксела или 4 циклами доксорубицин-циклофосфамид с последующими 4 циклами доцетаксела), в подгруппе возраста 50 лет и более молодого возраста охлаждение привело к успеху в 43% в сравнении с 10% в подгруппе более старших женщин, получавших те же режимы.
Возможности охлаждения волосистой части головы для профилактики алопеции вследствие химиотерапии зависят от режима химиотерапии и возраста пациентов.

Sensor-controlled scalp cooling to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia in female cancer patients
Scalp cooling has been used since the 1970s to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, one of the most common and psychologically troubling side effects of chemotherapy. Currently available scalp cooling systems demonstrate varying results in terms of effectiveness and tolerability.
For the present prospective study, 55 women receiving neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or palliative chemotherapy were enrolled. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of a sensor-controlled scalp cooling system (DigniCap: Sysmex Europe GmbH, Norderstedt, Germany) to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast or gynecologic cancer patients receiving 1 of 7 regimens. Clinical assessments, satisfaction questionnaires, and alopecia evaluations [World Health Organization (who) grading for toxicity] were completed at baseline, at each cycle, and at completion of chemotherapy.
Of the 55 patients, 78% underwent scalp cooling until completion of chemotherapy. In multivariate analysis, younger women and those receiving paclitaxel weekly or paclitaxel-carboplatin experienced less alopecia. The compound successful outcome («no head covering» plus «who grade 0/1») was observed in all patients 50 years of age and younger receiving 4 cycles of docetaxel-cyclophosphamide or 6 cycles of paclitaxel-carboplatin. Conversely, alopecia was experienced by all women receiving triplet polychemotherapy (6 cycles of docetaxel-doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide). For women receiving sequential polychemotherapy regimens (3 cycles of fluorouracil-epirubicin-cyclophosphamide followed by 3 cycles of docetaxel or 4 cycles of doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide followed by 4 cycles of docetaxel), the subgroup 50 years of age and younger experienced a 43% success rate compared with a 10% rate for the subgroup pf older women receiving the same regimens.
The ability of scalp cooling to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia varies with the chemotherapy regimen and the age of the patient.
