Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV): the Achilles’ Heel of Oncologists

چکیده
The increasing interest of improving patients outcome in terms of survival and response, seems to underlie the lack of attention to the anti-emetic prophylaxis. Many clinicians maybe believe that CINV constitutes a “minimal” price to pay for survival gain. On the other hand, patients frequently do not discuss chemotherapy-related side effects, since they may believe that these effects are an expected part of the treatment.As a results, CINV continues to impact patient’s daily life. Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) have been introduced to improve the quality of healthcare by improving patientclinician communication [17,18].
