RESUMEN
Though it is widely acknowledged that cancer treatments cause hair loss on the scalp, there are limited data on how they affect eyebrow and eyelash hairs. Patients with eyebrow and eyelash loss, or madarosis, seek various treatment options ranging from camouflage techniques with makeup, permanent tattoos, and prescription medications. Though not yet studied in patients with cancer-induced madarosis, techniques such as scalp cooling, cryotherapy, and topical vasoconstrictors are promising preventative options. More robust research is needed to improve both the quality and quantity of available treatment and preventative options. There is a clear need for dermatologists to play a role in supportive oncodermatology for patients who experience eyebrow and eyelash loss secondary to chemotherapy, endocrine therapies, and radiation therapy.
