"Thus, in patients with cancer, alopecia can be iatrogenic (chemotherapies, endocrine therapies, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, radiotherapy, surgery) or directly the consequence of the disease itself (malnutrition, scalp metastases, paraneoplastic syndromes)."2.72[Alopecia and cancers: From basics to clinical practice]. ( Baussard, L; Fiteni, F; Guichard, A; Le Vigouroux, S; Quesada, S, 2021)
