Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The effects on the prevention of alopecia of two methods

    To compare the effects of scalp cooling system and chemical cold cap on the prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy containing anthracycline followed paclitaxel. To assess hair status, a total of three photographs of patients'hair in the both groups were taken by study personnel before the start of first chemotherapy cycle, within 2 days before the start of paclitaxel chemotherapy and within 1 week after the last chemotherapy cycle. Photographs captured hair from the top of head. Patients assessed and estimated the percentage of hair loss using WHO classification of acute and subacute toxicity of anticancer drugs. Success was defined as WHO criteria alopecia grade I (\<25% hair loss) or grade II (25%-50% hair loss). Failure was defined as WHO criteria alopecia grade III (\>50% hair loss) or grade IV. The primary efficacy end point was assessed by clinicians who were independent.

Study Arms (2)

scalp cooling system

EXPERIMENTAL

'Scalp cooling device' will be used to prevent alopecia during chemotherapy regimen infusion.

Device: Scalp cooling system

cold cap

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

'Cold cap' will be used to prevent alopecia during chemotherapy regimen infusion.

Device: Cold cap

Interventions

Scalp cooling was initiated 30 minutes prior to each chemotherapy cycle, with scalp temperature maintained at 3°C (37°F) throughout chemotherapy and for 90 minutes to 120 minutes afterward. Temperature of scalp cooling system can be controlled constantly, the effect of reducing scalp temperature maybe better and patient tolerance maybe better. Meanwhile, there is a higher likelihood of hair retention due to a tight fit in scalp cooling system.

Also known as: DigniCap
scalp cooling system
Cold capDEVICE

The operation of chemical cold cap is convenient and the price was low, and the economic burden of patients was not increased. But it is necessary to replace the cold cap periodically during chemotherapy, and the temperature during chemotherapy is difficult to keep constant.
