GlossaryCarcinomas

Carcinomas are a type of cancer that originates in epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of organs and structures throughout the body. While not directly related to hair loss, certain carcinomas, particularly those affecting the scalp or skin, can lead to hair loss due to localized treatments like radiation or surgical removal. Additionally, some systemic treatments for cancer, such as chemotherapy, can cause widespread hair thinning or loss as a side effect. Understanding carcinomas is important in the context of hair biology, as they can impact the health of hair follicles and the scalp environment.
