Using a cross-sectional design, the research included adult cancer patients undergoing this treatment. The findings revealed that alopecia was the most prevalent adverse reaction, affecting 100% of the participants. The severity of alopecia was assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), with all cases classified at grade 2 severity.
