Yes, taking Kadcyli (trastuzumab emtansine), used to treat certain types of breast cancer, can cause hair loss, although this is not a side effect in all patients. The severity of adverse reactions is determined by the individual sensitivity of the patient. Hair loss after Kadcyli is usually less intense than after more aggressive chemotherapy and reactions may vary between patients. It is worth discussing with your doctor how to support the health of your hair and scalp during therapy.
I encourage you to report the symptoms you experience to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse effect of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
