The Scalp Cooling Summit

The Scalp Cooling Summit was developed to inspire and empower physicians to innovate their approaches to patient-centered care and symptom management, to challenge their own or their peer’s preconceptions, and to put what they have learned into practice. The hope is that in the not-too-distant future anyone who wants to scalp cool can - regardless of ethnicity, financial situation, gender, or chemotherapy treatment regimen.
