“…However, it is unlikely that all rinv is mediated through the 5-HT 3 system because of the reduced efficacy of 5-HT 3 RAs for preventing symptoms beyond the early stages of an extended radiotherapy course 11,[19][20][21] . If multiple mechanisms indeed underlie rinv as they are suspected of underlying cinv, then the added benefit of neurokinin 1 receptor antagonists observed in the cinv literature could be relevant to the rinv setting as well.…”

“…La incidencia de emesis en este grupo es del 30-90%. Al parecer es mejor la profilaxis que el tratamiento en sí, y que el antagonista de la 5HT3 supera a la metoclopramida y fenotiazinas en este grupo de pacientes 43,44 debido a las escasas diferencias entre los antagonistas de la 5HT3 y dopaminérgicos, algunos autores recomiendan estos últimos especialmente en pacientes sometidos a irradiación craneoespinal o irradiación hemicorporal inferior 45 . Otros autores 46 sugieren que la eficacia de los antagonistas de la 5 HT3 disminuye tras la primera semana de la irradiación.…”

“…Otros autores 46 sugieren que la eficacia de los antagonistas de la 5 HT3 disminuye tras la primera semana de la irradiación. Los diversos trabajos señalan la eficacia de ambas drogas en este grupo de pacientes, con un mejor control con los antagonistas de la 5HT3 44,45 . En otros estudios 47 , el uso de canabinoides (nabilone y levonantradol) no ha demostrado adecuado control antiemético.…”
