Dignitana announces that Antonio Perrino Hospital in Brindisi, Italy has initiated a clinical study of the DigniCap Delta Scalp Cooling System which features advanced thermoelectric cooling. The FDA-cleared DigniCap Scalp Cooling System minimizes hair loss from chemotherapy for cancer patients with solid tumors such as breast, prostate, and gynecological cancers. Led by Dr. Dario Loparco, Breast Unit psycho-oncologist and DigniCap protocol manager at the ASL Brindisi Breast Unit, the study is focused on breast cancer patients being treated with one of the most challenging chemotherapy regimens for hair retention -- epirubicin, cyclophosphamide and docetaxel (EC-T).

Dr. Loparco and the oncology team at Antonio Perrino Hospital have published three previous clinical studies using the legacy DigniCap C3 system. Those studies demonstrated DigniCap success rates of 71 percent, 71.7 percent, and 72.8 percent using a variety of chemotherapy regimens in breast cancer patients.
