Overview
SPCC organised a live, in-person symposium entitled “Best practices in antiemetic control”, which took place during the MASCC/ISOO Annual Meeting 2025 in Seattle (June 26-28, 2025).
This session provided an opportunity for a focused discussion among leading experts on recent developments and practical strategies in the prevention and management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Topics included the mechanisms of prolonged vomiting, barriers to accessing antiemetic therapies, and approaches to individualising care.
The session was intended for a multidisciplinary audience — including clinicians, nurses, researchers, and patient advocates — and aimed to address persistent gaps in current practice by offering updated, evidence-based insights.
The symposium is now available on-demand via OncoCorner, SPCC’s e-learning platform, at the following link.
