Chemotherapy is an important treatment for cancer, but some people having chemotherapy will have periods where they feel sick (nausea) or are sick (vomiting) because of their treatment (also known as Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting). These side effects can range from mild to severe and can be debilitating for some. A Chugai sponsored survey of patients who had undergone chemotherapy treatment (100 patients) found that¹ :

• More than 8 in 10 (80%) patients reported that feeling or being sick adversely impacted their daily life
• There are high levels of anxiety about feeling or being sick due to chemotherapy. Around 90% of patients felt anxious about CINV

Chugai Pharma UK is committed to helping patients deal with chemotherapy side effects like nausea and vomiting. Our goal is to change how patients see these effects, showing that chemotherapy doesn’t always mean feeling sick, it can be reduced and even prevented with appropriate treatment. We want to spread the word about how important it is to prevent these issues and talk openly with doctors and nurses about them.
