Antiemetics in the Supportive Care of Cancer Patients
Much progress has been made in the treatment of emesis caused by antineoplastic therapy, and particularly chemotherapy. However, some aspects remain controversial and the subject of continued research. This completely updated comprehensive manual on antiemetics covers a wide range of clinically relevant topics, providing the reader with a good source of easy consultation, and giving an overall picture of the state of the art and some clues for future development.
Perugia Consensus Conference on Antiemetic Therapy
In the last decade, important progress has been achieved in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, in particular since the introduction of 5-HT3 antagonists which, when used in combination with steroids, can assure significant protection in the majority of patients. Nonetheless, for some relevant clinical problems there still is no satisfactory answer, and there are major differences in clinical practice regarding antiemetic use. This volume contains the results of the fifth Perugia International Cancer Conference which was organized in 8 sessions, a consensus document was prepared for each session forming a useful basis for future developments.
Textbook of Medical Oncology
Effective care of the cancer patient increasingly involves systemic treatment, and as the range of available therapeutic agents continues to expand, the medical oncologist must be fully aware of the combinations.

Medical Management of Cancer-treatment Induced Emesis

This text presents a detailed overview of the management of cancer-treatment induced emesis in a number of different treatment settings, and focuses on the mechanisms and use of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.

In the last decade, pharmacoepidemiology has emerged as an important field to study the use/effects of drugs in large populations in real life, allowing for improved benefits and effectiveness of drugs as well as a decline in drug-related risks. The correct assessment, reporting, monitoring, and prevention of adverse events in drugs’ development, as well as therapy and post-market surveillance, is essential to improve clinical therapies and health outcomes. This book provides a comprehensive and unique overview of the relevance, new insights, and recent findings of pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety in public health.
