Abstract Background Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in cancer treatment are symptoms most feared by patients (pts). The study aim is to analyze the impact of CINV associated to moderately (MEC) or highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) regimes on pts’ quality of life (QOL). Methods Prospective observational study was done among pts receiving MEC or HEC in University Malaya Medical Center. 88 patients (pts) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Pts were prescribed standard antiemesis based on national guidelines. Each pt filled up a diary for each cycle from the day before chemotherapy up to day 5 days which included details of emesis history. Pts completed the self-report European Organization for Research and Cancer (EORTC) core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) before chemotherapy (baseline) and day 5 after each cycles, for 3 consecutive cycles. To estimate the effects of CINV on QOL, the change in scores between the baseline and day 5 HQL assessments was calculated for each domain the QLQ-C30 and compared in 3 subgroups of pts: 1) with both nausea and vomiting, 2) with nausea but no vomiting, 3) with neither nausea nor vomiting. Results Total of 33 pts (37.5%) develop vomiting during cycle 1, 34 (38.6%) in cycle 2 and 38 (43.2%) in cycle 3. For nausea, 50 pts (56.8%) developed nausea cycle 1, 58 patients (65.9%) in cycle 2 and 3. The incidence of vomiting is higher in female (p-value Conclusion The study demonstrated a significant no of pts who underwent MEC or HEC suffered CINV despite the use of standard anti-emetics treatment. We demonstrated that pts who did not suffer from CINV have better QOL.
