Management of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Use of transdermal patches containing granisetron in patients affected by head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma

In the management of cancer patients, supportive therapies play a crucial role. In patients with HNSCC in particular, swallowing may be difficult or completely prevented, therefore it is necessary to resort to alternative routes of administration instead of the oral one. The use of transdermal patches containing granisetron is thereby particularly indicated for the management of nausea and vomiting in these patients, ensuring a better quality of life and better compliance to the antineoplastic therapy.
