Lurbinectedin is a chemotherapy drug used to treat small cell lung cancer (SCLC) [2]. Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy drugs, including Lurbinectedin [3]. Unfortunately, there are no alternative treatments to avoid hair loss caused by chemotherapy drugs like Lurbinectedin [1].

However, there are some ways to manage hair loss during chemotherapy. One option is to use a cold cap, which is a special hat that cools the scalp and reduces blood flow to the hair follicles during chemotherapy [3]. This can help to reduce hair loss or prevent it entirely. It is important to note that not all cancer treatment centers offer cold caps, so patients should check with their healthcare provider to see if this is an option for them.

Another option is to use a wig or other head covering to cover up hair loss during treatment. Many cancer treatment centers have resources available to help patients find wigs or other head coverings that fit well and look natural [2].

Overall, while there are no alternative treatments to avoid hair loss caused by chemotherapy drugs like Lurbinectedin, there are ways to manage hair loss during treatment. Patients should talk to their healthcare provider about their options for managing hair loss and other side effects of chemotherapy.
