[Perceptual gap between oncologists/oncology nurses and patients in the management and impact of chemotherapy/radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting: French results of the GAP survey].
Despite progress in the treatment of chemotherapy/radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV/RINV), their management remains insufficient. ⋯ The perceptual gap between clinicians and patients regarding the incidence and impact of CINV/RINV contributes to a sub-optimal level of anti-emetic cover and control. The anti-emetic regimen needs to be regularly assessed and adapted to the patient in order to improve CINV/RINV management.
