简要总结
The aims of this study were to investigate the feasibility of methylprednisolone rotation as treatment of DIH.
详细描述
we planned a randomized prospective trial for cancer patients with DIH. The objective of the present study was to determine whether the rotation of corticosteroids affects the incidence and intensity of DIH without compromising the antiemetic efficacy.
