Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on the mechanisms and management of ANV.
  • To identify optimal strategies for preventing and treating ANV.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on ANV.
  • Analysis of evidence regarding psychological and pharmacological interventions.

Main Results:

  • ANV is not solely a conditioned response; psychological factors play a significant role.
  • Avoiding nausea and vomiting during the first chemotherapy cycle is crucial for prevention.
