What this Trial Is About
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) in the prevention and management of chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). Therefore, we hypothesize that PBMT can reduce the severity of CIA in gynecological and breast cancer patients, increasing the patient's QoL.
