How can I manage my patient’s expectations around potential hair retention on their specific chemotherapy regimen?

The Scalp Cooling Efficacy Calculator will provide specific information about a patient’s potential hair retention based on data from the Dutch Scalp Cooling Registry
The Dutch Registry is a source of data from over 7000 patients, the largest of its kind globally. The Efficacy Calculator uses this data to provide an accurate indication of the likelihood of hair retention for your patient.
It is important that this data is interpreted as an indication of what may be possible. The percentages calculated are an average, and your patient may see more or less hair retention. There are no guarantees, but an indication of potential outcome will help to manage your patient’s expectations.
The calculator will also provide pre and post cooling times for each regimen.

Our Paxman Management and technical team is also available to help manage patient expectations
