Bringing it all together in the treatment of CINV: application of current knowledge into routine clinical practice.

For patients with cancer, the threat of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) can greatly influence treatment decisions and overall quality of life. Clinicians now have numerous effective antiemetic therapies to offer to patients, but selecting the optimal strategy can be complicated. Integration of current CINV guidelines, emerging data from recent clinical trials, and patient-specific risk factors can greatly improve antiemetic prophylaxis. Two challenging clinical scenarios are presented and discussed to provide insight on how to best approach these types of treatment decisions and apply recent advances in CINV prevention and management to patient care.
