Abstract
Background. A single‐institution, randomized open trial was prospectively performed to compare orally administered granisetron with or without intramuscularly administered methylprednisolone to metoclopramide plus methylprednisolone in the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting induced by cisplatin‐based chemotherapy. The effects of antiemetic treatments were evaluated from days 2 to 5 of the first cycle after cisplatin administration among patients who had never before received chemotherapy.
