title: Cannabinoids in the management of severe nausea and vomiting from cancer chemotherapy. Some additional considerations.
abstract: Although the cannabinoids are effective antidotes to the nausea and vomiting produced by cancer chemotherapy, they also have other properties that may be of therapeutic value. These should be explored. The possibility of interactions, both useful and harmful, between the anticancer drugs and other drugs used at the same time needs intensive study.
