long-term hair loss caused by chemotherapy treatment

Permanent Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia (PCIA) refers to the long-term or irreversible loss of hair as a result of chemotherapy treatment. Unlike temporary hair loss, which is common during chemotherapy and usually resolves within months after treatment ends, PCIA means that the hair does not regrow, or regrows very sparsely, even after the completion of chemotherapy. This condition can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and self-esteem.
