The pathophysiology of nausea and vomiting caused by antineoplastic therapy is described, and the literature on selected recent pharmacologic approaches to antiemetic therapy is reviewed. Nausea and vomiting associated with antineoplastic therapy remain serious deterrents to continued, potentially

A comparative clinical trial of tropisetron capsule was conducted in three dose groups to investigate its optimal dose on nausea and vomiting induced by anti-cancer drugs, including cisplatin. The doses were randomized by the central registration office. In the assessment of clinical efficacy, cases

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ondansetron, an antagonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (serotonin 3) (5-HT3) receptors, in controlling nausea and vomiting induced by antineoplastic therapy in children affected by cancer. Six patients affected by nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are a persistent burden on cancer patients undergoing antineoplastic therapy, and adherence to guideline-specific prophylactic therapy is essential to minimise the risk. Nausea is more challenging to prevent than vomiting. This review summarises the choices of relevant drugs.

This report outlines measures for controlling nausea, vomiting, and anorexia caused by anticancer agents. Combination therapy with a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) receptor antagonist and a steroid preparation is effective for controlling acute vomiting. In the chronic stage, however, the response to
