Chemotherapy and radiation therapy-induced nausea and vomiting (also called emesis) are more than just an inconvenience — these symptoms can be hazardous to your health.

Your risk of emesis can be determined even before treatment begins based on type of cancer, course of treatment and other circumstances. Take a moment to determine your "nausea factor" or Nfactor by filling out the Nfactor Self-Assessment and using the results as a point of discussion when talking to your healthcare team. Getting control over chemotherapy- and radiation therapy-induced nausea and vomiting could make your cancer treatment easier to tolerate and allow you to focus on the things that are important to you. Click here to take the Nfactor Self-Assessment.

Kytril can help prevent the nausea and vomiting that often results from chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
