[The use of antiemetics in cancer chemotherapy].
The development of new chemotherapeutic protocols especially those cisplatin containing regimens, has lead to a dramatic improvement of remission rates in certain cancers. Nausea and vomiting seems to be the most distressing side effect from the patients point of view. A good administration of classical anti-emetic drugs should yield to at least 50% of good protection. The introduction of new drugs should even give more protection to our patients.
