Why are Anti-Emetics Important for Cancer Patients?
Cancer treatments often trigger severe nausea and vomiting, known as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). These side effects can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, and a decline in overall health. Anti-emetics help manage these symptoms, allowing patients to maintain their physical strength and continue with their treatments without significant interruptions.
