Buzzwords → Dx

Phase / Drug class Detail
Acute CINV Within 24 h of chemo; serotonin (5-HT₃) mediated
Delayed CINV 24-120 h after chemo; substance P / NK1 mediated
Anticipatory CINV Before next chemo; conditioned (Pavlovian); benzodiazepines, behavioral
Breakthrough CINV Despite ppx; rescue meds
5-HT3 antagonists (ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron) Block serotonin in vagus + chemoreceptor trigger zone
NK1 antagonists (aprepitant, fosaprepitant, netupitant, rolapitant) Block substance P; effective for delayed CINV
Dexamethasone Ubiquitous adjunct; mechanism unclear; pre-and-post-chemo
Olanzapine (atypical antipsychotic) Multireceptor; effective for delayed + breakthrough CINV
Lorazepam Anticipatory + breakthrough; cognitive/behavioral component
Metoclopramide D₂ + 5-HT3 (high-dose); breakthrough; QTc + dyskinesia
Cannabinoids (dronabinol, nabilone) Refractory CINV; MS, palliative
Highly emetogenic chemo (HEC) Cisplatin, AC, mechlorethamine, dacarbazine, streptozocin, carmustine high-dose
Moderately emetogenic (MEC) Carboplatin, cyclophosphamide <1500 mg/m², doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, ifosfamide
Low / minimal emetogenic Bleomycin, vinca alkaloids, bevacizumab, rituximab

治療

Emetogenic Risk Categories

  • High (>90 %): cisplatin, AC, mechlorethamine, streptozocin, dacarbazine, BCNU high-dose.
  • Moderate (30-90 %): carboplatin, cyclophosphamide ≥1500 mg/m², doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, ifosfamide, irinotecan, methotrexate ≥250 mg/m².
  • Low (10-30 %): docetaxel, paclitaxel, etoposide, gemcitabine, fluorouracil, mitomycin, topotecan.
  • Minimal (<10 %): bevacizumab, rituximab, vinca alkaloids, bleomycin.

陷阱與考點

Pearls / Pitfalls

  • Delayed CINV is hardest to control — driven by substance P / NK1 — NK1 antagonist + olanzapine + extended dexamethasone.
  • Olanzapine 10 mg × 4 d dramatically reduces both acute and delayed CINV (multiple trials, NEJM 2016 Navari) — sedation main AE.
  • 5-HT3 antagonists can prolong QTc — palonosetron has lower risk than ondansetron; check ECG in long-QT patients.
  • Dexamethasone hyperglycemia + insomnia + steroid-induced psychosis — limit to scheduled days; taper if prolonged.
  • NK1 antagonist drug-drug interactions: aprepitant inhibits CYP3A4 → ↑ levels of dexamethasone, warfarin, oral contraceptives. Fosaprepitant single IV dose.
  • Anticipatory CINV is conditioned response — best prevented by good control of acute CINV from cycle 1.
  • Cisplatin emesis prevention is the historic high-bar test of antiemetic efficacy.
  • Cannabinoids (dronabinol, nabilone) for refractory CINV — appetite stimulation bonus in palliative setting.
  • Marijuana / CBD for CINV — limited rigorous data; legal varies by region.
  • Breakthrough vs anticipatory: breakthrough during/after chemo cycle; anticipatory before subsequent cycle (Pavlovian conditioning).
