"56 female patients with breast carcinoma and treated with polychemotherapy: adriamycin, vindesine, ciclophosphamide and 5-fluorouracil were studied, divided in three groups with different antiemetic schedule: group A 40 mg/iv of metoclopramide; group B 40 mg iv of metoclopramide and 125 mg/iv of methylprednisolone before beginning chemotherapy; and group C 2 mg/oral of lorazepam, 125 mg/iv methyl-prednisolone and 1 mg/kg/oral of metoclopramide previously to begin chemotherapy; at two and four hours of the first dose, metoclopramide was repeated the same doses (really) three doses each two hours."2.67[Antiemetic treatments associated with antineoplastic chemotherapy].
