PREVENTION OF CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED NAUSEA AND VOMITING Nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy agents result from both direct and indirect stimulation of the vomiting center located in the lateral reticular formation of the medulla. Anticipatory nausea and vomiting is thought to be mediated by input from the cerebral cortex to the vomiting center. However, delayed nausea and vomiting is a topic of significant research and a recent report suggests a role for noradrenaline in mediating delayed emetic responses. daccx.bsd.uchicago.edu /drug/Bulletins/n0696.html

New drug reduces chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting Nausea and vomiting were reduced both on the day that chemotherapy was given and, more importantly, in the several days that followed, when nausea and vomiting often occur. Previous studies have shown that nausea and vomiting often become more severe over the course of several cycles of chemotherapy, and that standard therapy to control nausea and vomiting tends to become less effective as the number of chemotherapy cycles increases. Patients kept diaries to document any nausea or vomiting that occurred on the day that chemotherapy was given and on the four days that followed, noting whether they needed additional medication to control these symptoms. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2003-10/asoc-ndr101003.php

Patients needlessly suffering from chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting Nausea and vomiting (emesis) are two of the most common side effects of chemotherapy, affecting about 70% of patients, and representing a major therapeutic challenge in cancer and post-operative care. The survey highlighted that after hair loss, nausea and vomiting are the two most common concerns expressed by patients when told they require chemotherapy (68% and 57% of respondents respectively). Nausea and vomiting can be extremely uncomfortable and devastating to the quality of life of the patient undergoing treatment — so much so that some patients opt to delay or refuse further potentially life-saving treatment. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2002-04/shc-pns041202.php

Medicare Now Reimburses All Cancer Patients for Kytril Tablets To Prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Nausea and vomiting is the most common and frequently reported side effect of chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Greatly Underestimated by Healthcare Providers However, delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting may be reduced or alleviated with preventive use of newer anti-emetic agents such as Aloxi®. Chemotherapy is often very distressing for cancer patients due to severe nausea and vomiting. The researchers observed that delayed nausea and vomiting occurred in approximately 1/3 of patients without prior acute nausea and vomiting. patient.cancerconsultants.com /news.aspx?id=30384

Help For Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Although treatment of chemotherapy- induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is much better than that available in the 1980s—when patients might vomit 10 to 20 times in a 24-hour period after receiving cisplatin—practitioners may be remiss if they believe that it is no longer a problem. In trials in which nausea and vomiting were measured, the response to nausea was typically lower than the response to vomiting control. The ideal antiemetic would (1) control acute and delayed nausea and vomiting completely; (2) be without side effects; (3) offer convenient and easy-to-use dosing; and (4) eliminate cost as a barrier to use. www.pharmacytimes.com /article.cfm?ID=2041

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: An Update from ONS 2004 Aloxi™ was approved in July 2003 with the specific indication of the prevention of acute CINV associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy, and for the prevention of delayed CINV associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. Vomiting is triggered by a center in the brain located in the lateral reticular formation of the medulla, referred to as the vomiting center. Furthermore, prevention of CINV in the initial course of therapy may lead to reduced CINV in subsequent courses of therapy as experience of CINV with initial courses of chemotherapy is considered to be a risk factor for the development of CINV in subsequent cycles. professional.cancerconsultants.com /conference_ons_2004.aspx?id=30485

Medical Acupuncture Online Journal, Volume 14 #1, Article 2 The nausea experience, as measured by the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching, was significantly less for 7 of the 10 days and nausea intensity was significantly less for 1 of the 10 days in the patients using finger acupressure. Xia et al16 found the incidence of chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced adverse effects was less in the acupuncture group as compared with the incidence in the control group (anorexia: 5% vs 90%; diarrhea: 3% vs 20%; dizziness: 13% vs 85%; insomnia: 8% vs 45%; and fatigue: 5% vs 100%). Chemotherapy, biological therapy, and radiation therapy are based on an understanding of cancer cell characteristics such as how the cancer cell cycle differs from the cycle of normal cells and the processes involved in the development of cancer including initiation, promotion, and progression. www.medicalacupuncture.org /aama_marf/journal/vol14_1/article2.html

Reality Of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea And Vomiting (CINV) Among Cancer Patients Is Different Than What Physicians Perceive: New Study Reveals Fifty-four per cent of acute patients (occurrence of CINV within the first 24 hours after chemotherapy treatment), and 24 per cent of delayed patients (occurrence of CINV within two to five days after chemotherapy treatment), reported that nausea and vomiting had an impact on their daily living. Physicians and/or nurses were asked to estimate the frequency of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting in patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC), a treatment that causes nausea and vomiting in 30 to 60 per cent when no anti-emetic therapy is administered. Patients scheduled to receive their first cycle of MEC were asked to record the incidence of nausea and vomiting and the impact of CINV on nine different aspects of daily living, including ability to enjoy meals, spend time with family and friends, and complete usual hobbies. www.docguide.com /dg.nsf/PrintPrint/F3467624DD91066C85256BC20049CFCC

Clinical Trial: Ginger Control of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting This is a trial to determine the safety and efficacy of ginger in reducing the prevalence and severity of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting significantly reduces patients' quality of life, increases fatigue, anxiety, and increases costs of health care delivery. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of two dose levels (1000 mg, or 2000 mg, orally/day) of Zingiber officinalis extract (standardized for 5% gingerols) in patients undergoing chemotherapy (cisplastin or adriamycin) who have experienced at least one episode of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting despite optimal conventional medical therapy. www.clinicaltrials.gov /show/NCT00065221

Clinical Trial: A Randomized Study of Electroacupuncture Treatment for Delayed Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Patients with Pediatric Sarcomas While acute chemotherapy-induced emesis and nausea can be effectively treated with contemporary anti-emetic regimens, delayed nausea, defined as nausea occurring between 24 hours and up to 5 days after completion of chemotherapy, continue to be a management challenge. This study hypothesizes that electroacupuncture may be effective in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced delayed nausea in patients with pediatric sarcomas, resulting in improved management of delayed nausea and emesis and improvement of QOL. Recurrent or delayed nausea, in addition to its negative effect on Quality of Life (QOL), may constitute a state of stress for the affected patient that may contribute to recognized endocrine, metabolic and immunologic sequelae of chronic stress that are emerging from research in cancer survivors. www.clinicaltrials.gov /show/NCT00034996
