JAIPPUR: HCG Cancer Centre Jaipur unveiled an indigenous scalp cooling therapy, making it the first in Rajasthan to offer this revolutionary treatment for chemotherapy patients. This advanced therapy is designed to reduce hair loss and promote quicker hair regrowth due to chemotherapy. This technology was officially inaugurated by Dr Sumita Jain (Retd HOD Surgery Department & Principal Dausa Medical College) in the presence of Dr Naresh Somani Director Oncology HCG Jaipur, Dr. Bharat Gadhvi, Dr. Bharat Rajpurohit.
Dr Naresh Somani Director of Oncology HCG Jaipur, said, “The new scalp cooling technology is cost-effective and crucial for maintaining patients’ physical and emotional well-being. This system involves placing a cooling machine on the patient’s head during chemotherapy to lower scalp temperature, thereby mitigating the impact of chemotherapy on hair follicles. A specialized cooling cap ensures that the exact temperature is maintained throughout the chemotherapy infusion process. It is a simple and non-invasive method, and it may be recommended for different types of chemotherapy. Its biggest benefits include reduced hair loss, reduced emotional distress, and a confident and positive outlook towards life.”
