Losing hair is one of the most distressing side-effects of chemotherapy and can often be prevented with a cooling cap. Make it routinely available and paid for.

The proposal is payer coverage and unit-level capacity for scalp cooling for all patients receiving alopecia-inducing regimens who want it, plus trials of adjunctive topical agents, with hair preservation and body-image outcomes measured in registries.
