CKS is no longer commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE remains committed to providing a replacement service for CKS and is currently reviewing its options. In the meantime, although CKS content is now not being maintained, it still remains relevant and will continue to be made available. CKS content was generated under a programme of topic creation and update. To check if the topic you are viewing is current or out of date, please refer to the topic publication details by clicking on the 'How up-to-date is this topic?' link in the left hand menu on individual topic pages.
Palliative cancer care - nausea & vomiting - How up-to-date is this topic?
Changes
Version 1.0, revision planned in 2011.
Last revised in October 2007
July to October 2007 — converted from PRODIGY guidance to CKS topic structure. The evidence-base has been reviewed in detail, and recommendations are more clearly justified and transparently linked to the supporting evidence.
A section has been added covering the management of nausea and vomiting at the end of life. The emphasis of this CKS topic is on the treatment of nausea and vomiting in a palliative care situation; malignant bowel obstruction has been included, but in less detail than previously.
