ABSTRACT
Radiotherapy combined with temozolomide (TMZ+RT) is the primary treatment for high-grade glioma. TMZ is classified as a moderate emetic risk agent and, thus, supportive care for nausea and vomiting is important. In Nagoya University Hospital, all patients are treated with a 5-hydroxy-tryptamine 3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3RA) for the first 3 days. The daily administration of 5-HT3RA is resumed after the 4th day based on the condition of patients during TMZ+RT. Therefore, the present study investigated risk factors for nausea and vomiting in patients requiring the daily administration of 5-HT3RA. Patients with high-grade glioma who received TMZ+RT between January 2014 and December 2019 at our hospital were included. Patients were divided into two groups a control group (patients who did not resume 5-HT3RA) and resuming 5-HT3RA group (patients who resumed 5-HT3RA after the 4th day), and both groups were compared to identify risk factors for nausea and vomiting during TMZ+RT. There were 78 patients in the control group (68%) and 36 in the resuming 5-HT3RA group (32%). A multivariate analysis of patient backgrounds in the two groups identified age <18 years, PS 2 or more, and occipital lobe tumors as risk factors for nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting were attenuated in 30 patients (83%) in the resuming 5-HT3RA group following the resumption of 5-HT3RA. The results obtained highlight the importance of extracting patients with these risk factors before the initiation of therapy and the early resumption or daily administration of 5-HT3RA according to the condition of each patient.
