Abstract
The effectiveness of alpha-tocopherol acetate as a preventive of doxorubicin-induced alopecia was evaluated in 20 patients with different types of solid tumors. All received therapy containing doxorubicin in a dose range of 50-60 mg/m2/cycle of treatment. The observed hair loss was severe in 90% and moderate in 10% of the patients. No protective activity of alpha-tocopherol was demonstrated in this trial.Entities:
