5. Cancer Treatments
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are cancer treatments that can cause nausea. Chemotherapy involves the administration of a range of medications at various dosages. The higher the dose, the greater the chance the patient experiences nausea and associated symptoms, such as vomiting.
In addition to the chemotherapy, accompanying treatments, such as opioids for pain, can increase this side effect. People can have nausea directly after chemo and a delayed response that takes over 24 hours to start.6‘Nausea and Vomiting Caused by Cancer Treatment.’ American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/physical-side-effects/nausea-and-vomiting/caused-by-treatment.html.
