Standing Up for Those Who Cannot Stand Up for Themselves
Chemotherapy patients who experience hair loss can typically expect to
have it grow back within 3-6 months after treatment is complete, but breast
cancer survivors have reported permanent hair loss in increasing numbers
since the mid-2000s. Taxane chemotherapy drugs, such as Taxotere®,
have been linked to this permanent hair loss.
An Annals of Oncology study suggested that taxane chemotherapy drugs “seem
to be responsible” for severe and permanent female hair loss.The
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Taxotere® drug label update
in December of 2015 warning doctors and patients of the possibility of
permanent alopecia.
