Everyday life
When CINV goes untreated, it affects upwards of 60% to 80% of patients with cancer. CINV not only negatively impacts the quality of life (QOL) of the patient, but also the QOL of the patient’s family. Without prevention and control of CINV, patients may experience many undesirable events that can affect their QOL and/or treatment outcomes, including discontinuation of chemotherapy, which highlights the need for adequate prevention and control measures.
