Scalp Cooling for Alopecia Prevention (SCALP)

Determine that the Orbis Paxman Hair Loss Prevention System is safe and effective in reducing
chemotherapy-induced alopecia in woman with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant
chemotherapy.

Cooling the scalp during chemotherapy may help reduce the chances of losing hair during
treatment. The investigators are hoping that using the PAXMAN Orbis Scalp Cooling Device may
stop patients who are undergoing chemotherapy from losing their hair.
