Chemotherapy and radiation treatment will cause hair loss because it stops hair cells from dividing. Hairs become thin and break off as they exit the scalp. This occurs one to three weeks after the treatment.
Patients can lose up to 90 percent of their scalp hair. The hair will regrow after treatment ends and patients may want to get wigs before treatment. There are some drugs in development to help prevent this hair loss from occurring.

If you mean Chemotherapy, yes, most people lose their hair during the process. However, my friend went through it for almost a year and never lost any. It depends on each person. Hope this helps!!!

Radiiotherapy, can in some cases cause hair in the area being radiated to fall out. Areas of the body not being radiated will not be effected.
If you have radiotheraphy,do you lose your hair?
You will loose hair if there is hair within the radiation field...ie for brain cancers you will loose some (may be spotty loss corresponding to the size and shape of the fields being used), same for armpit hair in breast CA, etc. Radiation does NOT cause hairloss outside the treatment area however....that is unique to chemotherapy.
