Items related to Fast Facts: Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea
Few side effects of cancer treatment are more feared by patients than nausea and vomiting. Failure to control these symptoms on the first day of chemotherapy increases the risk of them occurring on subsequent days and in subsequent cycles of chemotherapy, and can often result in patients refusing further cancer treatment. Very effective antiemetics are available to prevent this from happening, but do you know how best to use them? Fast Facts: Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting presents the evidence for the clinical agents that can prevent CINV, along with the recommendations for their use in various clinical settings using recently established international guidelines. Correct administration of prophylactic antiemetics in relation to the emetogenicity of the chemotherapy being given not only improves patients quality of life during treatment but also adherence to subsequent cancer treatments, thus improving overall outcomes. This refreshingly readable handbook is therefore a must-read resource for all health professionals in a position to make this kind of a difference. Contents Chapter 1: Definitions and pathophysiology Chapter 2: Types of CINV and risk factors Chapter 3: Antiemetic agents Chapter 4: Prevention and management of acute and delayed CINV Chapter 5: Treatment of breakthrough, refractory and anticipatory CINV Chapter 6: Prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea Chapter 7: Barriers and opportunities in CINV management
