Toshimichi Miya, Haruhiko Kondo, Akihiko Gemma

Abstract

Background: The pathogenesis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is not fully elucidated. We hypothesized that serum iron levels may be associated with CINV because symptoms of iron poisoning such as nausea, vomiting and gastroenteritis resemble the adverse effects of chemotherapy.
