How advances in science can improve hair recovery in chemotherapy
Dr Nik Georgopoulos is a highly experienced scientist, cell biologist & molecular biologist. He has a degree in biochemistry & genetics from Leeds University & a PHD.
Dr Georgopoulis has studied viruses and how they cause cancer. He looks at what happens when things go wrong. As cancer can affect 1 in 2 people, he looks to try to understand how cancer happens.
Nik describes cancer as like a wound that will not stop healing. We discuss the effect that chemotherapy treatment has on the rapidly proliferating cells of the body, including the hair follicles.
Scalp cooling can prevent the chemotherapy drugs from entering the keratinocytes, and the hair matrix. Cold cap can help to eliminate the risk of permanent alopecia (PCIA) with certain treatments.
Nik has been involved in the development of anti-oxidants that utilises nanotechnology, which can be applied to increase the effectiveness of scalp cooling and help to support the hair during treatment.
