In this episode of OncoSnacks, Josh and Michael address the classic chemotherapy side effect: nausea. From Terms of Endearment (1983) to ER (2002), from Breaking Bad (2008) to Archer (2011), nausea and vomiting are the most frequently imagined side effects when it comes to chemotherapy. However, we are much better at managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) than we once were; a combination of better antiemetics and move away from highly emetic therapies means patients are usually much better off perspective. Nevertheless, in the words of great ancient oncologist Sun Tzu: \"if one knows oneself, and knows the neuronal pathways associated with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, one need not fear the result of a thousand infusions.\" Listen on to find out how!
