Navigating alopecia: Practical guidelines for minimizing hair loss in CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery for calvarial or scalp tumors
Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common yet underdiscussed side effect of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), particularly affecting patients undergoing treatment for calvarial or scalp tumors [1]. The psychological and emotional impacts of alopecia are profound, affecting patients' quality of life and, in some cases, influencing treatment decisions [2-4]. Despite its significance, there has been a lack of specific guidelines aimed at preventing this adverse effect. The study led by the team from Stanford University's Department of Neurosurgery
