New Antiemetic Drugs

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1994
In an editorial, Kapur [4] described perioperative nausea and vomiting as the big "little problem following ambulatory surgery."

Methodology of trials with antiemetics

Supportive Care in Cancer, 1996
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting can today be controlled with the "new" antiemetics or with their various combinations in a high percentage of patients. Despite this, for some subgroups of patients, certain chemotherapy regimens and some aspects of the phenomenon (delayed presentation), emesis remains a critical problem.

Cancer Treatment Reviews, 1994
Of all the adverse effects associated with cancer chemotherapy, patients find nausea and vomiting the most distressing (I, 2). Indeed, nausea and vomiting continue to be critical problems in cancer chemotherapy. They can lead to a dramatic deterioration of the patients’ quality of life and result in up to 50% of patients delaying or missing treatment ...
