Does cancer cause baldness???
ddd [48]
Yes and no.

Hair loss in cancer patients is typically caused by the cancer treatment, not the disease itself.
Chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments commonly result in differing degrees of hair loss.

Short answer:
No, cancer does not cause it, the treatment does.
