Study type | Observational |
To investigate the use of a scalp sparing technique of radiotherapy treatment designed to
treat the whole brain. Current treatment methods to treat the whole brain with radiotherapy
result in complete alopecia as a side effect. Hair loss is usually patchy and uneven and
re-growth similar and slow.
It is hoped that reducing the radiation dose to the hair bearing follicle on the scalp will
reduce hair loss and increase the speed and evenness of re-growth.
