Chemotherapy induced hair-loss can be very demotivating, distressing and it knocks the confidence of many who have to go through it.
What is Translational Cancer Research?
Cancer research is one of the most talked about topics and rightly so. Cancer research is making incredible breakthroughs and paving the way for a future where cancer can be cured and prevented.
