RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs may help to reduce or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients
treated with chemotherapy. It is not known whether receiving dexamethasone with granisetron
is more effective than receiving dexamethasone with metoclopramide for reducing the side
effects of chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of dexamethasone with either
granisetron or metoclopramide in patients treated with chemotherapy.
