Using Disease Symptomatology to Guide Treatment in Patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia: Introduction of C-CAT Scoring Tool
The C-CAT provides a structured, quantitative method to assess CCCA severity, which facilitates tracking of disease improvement for the majority of patients with targeted therapy. While the subjective nature of some C-CAT components may lead to inter-rater variability, this tool promotes personalized, symptom-based treatment and supports clinicians and patients in understanding this complex condition.
