Paxman Canada

Paxman Canada Our page is a place to share Canadian experiences about scalp cooling and the Paxman system. We'd love to hear your stories, comments and feedback.

When Sue Paxman lost her hair while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer, her family shared her distress. Sue's husband, Glenn Paxman founded Paxman on the back of this experience and to this day we remain a close family business. Knowing first-hand the effects that both cancer and its treatment can have on patients, friends and families, our business is much more than just a job. We aim to ma

ke a difference to people’s lives by raising awareness about scalp cooling and establishing it as a common practice for all patients undergoing treatment. As the leading global manufacturer and supplier of scalp cooling equipment, we work in partnership with medical professionals, research centres, cancer support groups, charities and patients to continually improve our technology. Investing in scientific testing and development has allowed us to attain outstanding technical precision and the highest levels of clinical efficacy. We strive to gain further knowledge and understanding of hair loss prevention for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. We are committed to giving patients a degree of control during chemotherapy treatment. We have made it our responsibility to offer advice, support and access to scalp cooling for cancer patients no matter where they are based in the world. Having been through the same journey as many patients and their families, we are dedicated to empowering people by giving them the choice to keep their hair.

Today, is the national day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding our shared history and the work that still needs to be done.

To honour this day, we encourage all Canadians to take meaningful actions — whether by educating ourselves, supporting Indigenous-led initiatives, or listening to the stories and experiences of Indigenous Peoples.

World Cancer Research Day reminds us that we are all working towards a united goal: a world free from the terrible burden of cancer. Today, we celebrate the strides made in cancer care, research, and equity, while recognising the challenges that remain. The importance of working internationally to address global challenges cannot be overstated—collaboration and teamwork across borders are driving major step changes in life-saving research. We are proud to support and the organisations that created it in their mission improve outcomes for all patients around the world. Together, we can continue to make a difference.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month reminds us of the unique challenges many men face during their cancer journey. One thing often overlooked is that scalp cooling is sometimes not offered to men. It's time to challenge the norms and advocate for equal access to supportive care options for everyone. Months like this help raise awareness, support one another, and ensure that every man has the opportunity to feel like himself during treatment.

An update to the Dutch Scalp Cooling Registry has just been published in The Oncologist Journal, adding 7 years’ worth of scalp cooling data, up to 2019, to the existing cohort data. The Registry, now with data from 7,424 patients from 68 hospitals, acts as the largest real-world multi-centre analysis of determinants for scalp cooling efficacy. The study found that scalp cooling is effective for many patients with 56% of scalp cooling patients not requiring a head covering. Congratulations to Toni Brook, Nik Georgopoulos, Andrew Collett, Jarek Bryk, Wim P.M. Breed MD, PhD, Veerle Derleyn, Hans Nortier, Johan van den Bosch, Tanya Van Hoek and Corina van den Hurk on publishing this incredible paper sharing valuable insight on scalp cooling efficacy.

Swipe for an brief overview of the study, including background and key results.

Today, on World Lung Cancer Day, we join the global community in raising awareness about the leading cause of cancer-related deaths for both men and women. This high mortality rate is largely due to late diagnosis, as early-stage lung cancer often has no symptoms and is difficult to detect. Lung cancer affects millions of lives every year, bringing significant challenges to patients and their loved ones. While strides have been made, there is still a long way to go.

Jessica was grateful to be introduced to scalp cooling by her oncologist as it gave her “some normalcy during an unknown and fearful time of being diagnosed with cancer.”
