Prediction of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting from patient-reported and genetic risk factors

ConclusionsThe current study identified patient-reported and genetic factors that may place patients at risk for acute nausea despite receipt of guideline-consistent anti-emetic prophylaxis. Additional studies examining other genetic variants are needed, as well as the development of risk prediction models including both patient-reported and genetic risk factors.
