November 2023 in “Supportive Care in Cancer” This retrospective cohort study investigated 28 breast cancer patients who developed alopecia due to CDK4/6-inhibitor therapy, termed CDKiA. The alopecia resembled androgenetic alopecia, with more pronounced vertex involvement in patients receiving combination therapy with CDK4/6i and endocrine therapy (ET) compared to those on endocrine monotherapy. After 4-6 months of minoxidil treatment, 80% of CDKiA patients showed moderate to significant improvement, while 94.4% of those with endocrine-induced alopecia (EIA) improved. The study suggests that combining minoxidil with topical antiandrogens may be beneficial for CDKiA patients, especially due to the specific vertex involvement.
