A group of cancer patients’ grey hair has unexpectedly darkened after they took new types of drugs, researchers have revealed. A Spanish study suggests those may include restoring hair pigment, at least in patients with lung cancer. While most patients did not have a hair colour change, the 14 cases suggest it is not an isolated finding. In 13 patients, hair turned darkish brown or black; in one patient, it turned black in patches. But if it is confirmed that they do change hair colour, a different drug could be developed to treat grey hair, she said.
