OBJECTIVE Prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remains an important goal for patients receiving chemotherapy. The objective of this study was to define, from the UK payer perspective, the cost-effectiveness of an antiemetic regimen using aprepitant, a selective neurokinin-1

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of inhaled ginger aromatherapy on nausea, vomiting and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chemotherapy breast cancer patients. METHODS Single-blind, controlled, randomized cross-over study. Patients received 5-day aromatherapy treatment using either ginger

Risk factors for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) include older age, female sex, alcohol consumption, and a history of motion sickness. Although gastrointestinal symptoms are found to be related with sleep and mood in other conditions, little is known about their effects on CINV. This

Breast cancer surgery performed under general anesthesia is associated with a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). A number of approaches are available for the management of PONV after breast cancer surgery. First, the risk factors related to patient characteristics, surgical

We investigated the prophylactic antiemetic effect of added low-dose infusion of propofol in patients exhibiting nausea and vomiting refractory to dexamethasone and serotonin antagonist during non-cisplatin chemotherapy for breast cancer. In a prospective open longitudinal study, 117 patients who

OBJECTIVE To examine the association of the serotonin transport gene and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) in women following breast cancer surgery. METHODS A cross-sectional study. METHODS A comprehensive cancer center in Pittsburgh, PA. METHODS 80 post-menopausal women treated surgically

BACKGROUND Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a side effect, and has negative effect on quality of life and continuation of chemotherapy. Despite new regimen and drugs, the problems still remain and standard guidelines, effective treatment and supportive care for refractory CINV are

OBJECTIVE The effectiveness of palonosetron without delayed dexamethasone dosing against emesis was investigated in patients scheduled to receive the corticosteroid-containing combination of doxorubicin and paclitaxel (AT) for 3 cycles. METHODS Chemo-naïve women with breast cancer receiving

The incidence of nausea and vomiting was investigated for a maximum of 7 days in 32 breast cancer patients receiving CAF (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil) and CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil) therapies. For those patients who experienced nausea and vomiting, 4 mg/day

Efficacy of combination of ondansetron injection and tablet on CAF (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil) induced emesis were investigated in 10 breast cancer patients (33 courses). Complete suppression rate of nausea or vomiting were approximately 75%, approximately 90% respectively for

OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors associated with the duration of emesis after high-dose chemotherapy in high risk breast cancer patients and to assess the predictive performance of a mathematical model. METHODS: Cox regression model was developed to predict the duration of emesis, and

A group of 90 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were assessed prospectively to estimate the prevalence of acute (post-treatment) and anticipatory emesis in the 1990s. For this purpose, two protocols of chemotherapy were analysed separately: cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/5-fluorouracil

OBJECTIVE To describe the incidence and intensity of vomiting in women receiving chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer since the advent of 5-HT3 antagonists. METHODS Longitudinal, descriptive. METHODS 7 outpatient oncology clinics situated in hospitals, 5 outpatient oncology clinics associated

Despite advances in the prevention and treatment of emesis, nausea and vomiting are still considered by patients to be among the most severe and feared adverse effects of chemotherapy for breast cancer. There is, however, a paucity of prospective data documenting the prevalence and severity of

BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remain among the most frequently reported distressing side effects associated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy despite significant advances in antiemetic management. The main risk factor for severity of CINV is the emetogenic potential
