    A randomized crossover study between 0.3 mg of ramosetron (RAM) combined with 8 mg of dexamethasone (DEX) and 0.3 mg of RAM combined with 12 mg of DEX was performed to investigate the prevention of nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy including 60 mg/m2 or 70 mg/m2 of cisplatin (CDDP) in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Twenty-five patients the study consisted of who received chemotherapy with CDDP were enrolled in the present study between January 2001 and December 2002 at the Yokohama City University School of Medicine or Yokohama City University Medical Center. The antiemetic effectiveness in the group receiving 12 mg of DEX was not significantly superior to the group receiving 8 mg of DEX. It was suggested that the antiemetic therapy of RAM 0.3 mg plus DEX 8 mg was effective for the prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by CDDP in patients with advanced HNSCC.
