HCG Cancer Centre Jaipur unveiled an indigenous scalp cooling therapy, making it the first in Rajasthan to offer this revolutionary treatment for chemotherapy patients.

Dr Naresh Somani, Director, 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.

Its biggest benefits include reduced hair loss, reduced emotional distress, and a confident and positive outlook towards life.”
