| Abstrakt | Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects of cancer treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Our aim is to prevent acute and delayed nausea and vomiting with antiemetic therapy. Antiemetics are prescribed according to the emetogenic potential of cytotoxic agents in the chemotherapy regimen, and according to the risk of nausea and vomiting in each individual patient. In patients treated with radiotherapy, antiemetic prophylaxis depends on the irradiated area. In patients with advanced cancer, nausea and vomiting can be a symptom of cancer progression or may occur as a result of other drugs the patient is using to control other symptoms of the disease. It is very important to recognise the cause of nausea and vomiting and administer proper treatment. Good control of these symptoms in supportive and palliative treatment is very important for the quality of life of cancer patients. | |
| Izvleček | Slabost in bruhanje sta najpogostejša neželena učinka zdravljenja s kemoterapijo in/ali obsevanjem. Naš cilj je z antiemetično zaščito preprečiti pojav akutne in pozne slabosti in bruhanja. Antiemetike predpišemo glede na emetogenost citostatikov v kemoterapevtski shemi in glede na dejavnike tveganja za slabost in bruhanje pri posameznem bolniku, pri zdravljenju z obsevanjom pa glede na obsevano mesto. Pri bolnikih z razširjenim rakom sta slabost in bruhanje lahko simptoma napredovanja maligne bolezni ali pa sta posledica zdravljenja z zdravili proti drugim simptomom maligne bolezni. Pomembno je, da vzrok ze slabost in bruhaaje prepoznamo in zdravimo. Dobra kontrola obeh simptomov tako v pudpornem kut paliativnem zdravljenju bolnikov z rakom je zelo pomembna za kakovost bolnikovega življenja. | |
