Oral Minoxidil for Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia.

Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA), one of the most dramatic side effects of chemotherapy, occurs in approximately 65% of patients receiving cytotoxic drugs. Case Presentation: We report the case of a patient, 64 years old, affected by chemotherapy-induced alopecia treated with oral minoxidil with good results. Discussion/Conclusion: Our case may be useful in the literature to propose a new therapy for this pathology that is fundamentally very difficult to treat.
