AbstractWe investigated the usefulness of concurrent therapy of granisetron with methylprednisolone sodium for on nausea, vomiting and anorexia induced by chemotherapy, including cisplatin, in patients with oral cancer. Group A: 10 patients who were on concurrent therapy of granisetron (3.0 mg/body) with methylprednisolone sodium (750 mg/body) (19 courses). Group B: 13 patients who were given coktail therapy of methylprednisolone sodium (750 mg/body) as the base drug plus metoclopramide (46.7 mg/body on average) and domperidone (82.9 mg/body on average) (21 courses). Efficacy rates for nausea, vomiting and anorexia were 89.4%, 100% and 100% in group A, and 33.3%, 47.6% and 42.9% in group B, respectively. Statistical significance was found with nausea, vomiting and anorexia (p < 0.01). The results suggest usefulness of concurrent therapy of granisetron with methylpredonisolone sodium for cisplatin-induced nausea, vomiting and anorexia.
