Treatment With Endocrine Therapy May Cause Hair Loss, Have Negative Impact On QoL In Breast Cancer Patients, But Minoxidil Can Restore Hair Growth, Study Suggests.

Medscape (4/17, Harrison, Subscription Publication) reports that a study suggests "treatment with endocrine therapy [can] cause hair loss and have a negative impact on quality of life" in breast cancer patients, "even when the loss is only mild in severity." Researchers also found, however, that "treatment with topical minoxidil...can restore hair growth, so the loss is potentially treatable." The findings were published online in JAMA Dermatology
