AbstractFor patients with pulmo-mediastinal malignancies, the antimetic effect of granisetron was studied in the following two ways. Firstly in the standard method, 40 micrograms/kg of granisetron was infused for 30 minutes, 30 minutes before CDDP infusion. Secondly, in the simultaneous method, granisetron was mixed with CDDP in a 500 microliters infusion bottle, and then infused over 0.5-3 hours. Over a 24-hour time course, significantly effective rates (nausea less than mild, and vomiting 2 times less) were 72.7% in the simultaneous group (n = 22) and 52.6% in the standard group (n = 19). The non-effective rates were 18.2% and 15.8%, respectively. Although the results were not statistically significant, the simultaneous method is easier to perform and it seems to confer a slightly better clinical outcome than the conventional method.
