While many studies have demonstrated the prevention of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving moderately or highly emetogenic anti-cancer agents, there are few reports of mildly emetogenic anti-cancer agents. In the present study, we performed a 2-year multi-center study to determine the types and efficacy of antiemetic therapy administered in a total of 77 cancer patients who received mildly emetogenic anti-cancer agents between September 2015 and August 2017. The effectiveness of antiemetic therapy was evaluated based on the frequency of nausea and vomiting and use of rescue medication. This information was reported by patients and collected every 24 hours for 120 hours after the administration of anti-cancer agents with a mild emetogenic risk. The combination of 5-HT3 receptor antagonist(1 or 3 mg granisetron, 0.75 mg palonosetron) and 6.6 mg dexamethasone was the most common antiemetic therapy used in our patient population. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of all 5-HT3 receptor antagonists that were evaluated. Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel were the most commonly used with a total of 64 patients receiving a combination of these mildly emetogenic agents. Poor performance status was associated with failure to achieve total control(TC)of nausea and vomiting(p=0.0304), while habitual alcohol consumption was associated with TC of nausea and vomiting(p=0.0331). |
