Abstract

Transdermal granisetron (Sancuso®) is effective in the prevention of nausea and vomiting in patients with cancer who are receiving moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy for 3–5 days. Transdermal granisetron is noninferior to oral granisetron in this indication, and is generally well tolerated in this indication. Thus, transdermal granisetron provides a convenient option for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, with the potential to improve patient compliance.
