“…However, such emetogenic risk does not include nausea. (5) The potential presented by the most commonly used drugs in breast cancer treatment protocols can be classifi ed as: high, with a risk of vomiting of 90% (cyclophosphamide dosage over 1500mg/m 2 and cisplatine); moderate, with a 30% to 90% risk (cyclophosphamide dosage under 1500mg/m 2 , epirubicin and doxorubicin); low, with a 1% to 30% risk (5-fl uorouracil, paclitaxel, docetaxel, methotrexate, doxorubicin lipossomal, gemcitabina and trastuzumab); and minimal, with a risk of 10% or lower (vinorelbine).
