April 2026 in “Academic Dermatology” This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Dean Scale compared to the CTCAE scale in assessing therapeutic response to minoxidil in patients with anticancer therapy-induced alopecia. The Dean Scale showed better diagnostic accuracy with an area under the ROC curve of 0.74, compared to 0.55 for the CTCAE scale, indicating the latter's ineffectiveness in detecting changes in hair density. However, the Dean Scale failed to capture regrowth in 45.8% of patients with moderate-to-significant clinical response. The study concludes that current classification methods, like the CTCAE, may not accurately capture clinically significant hair regrowth, suggesting the need for adopting the SALT II severity classification and incorporating objective trichoscopic evaluations for better tracking of treatment-related alopecia.
