Aetiology and prevention of emesis induced by radiotherapy

P C Feyer et al. Support Care Cancer. 1998 May.

Abstract

The introduction of new antiemetics has resulted in renewed interest in the aetiology and control of radiation induced emesis. Studies both with fractionated treatment and with high-dose single exposures have clearly demonstrated the value of the 5HT3 receptor antagonist antiemetics. This paper reviews the selection of optimal antiemetics.
