The conscientious prescribing of antiemetics by chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) risk was highlighted in the American Society Clinical Oncology (ASCO) "Choosing Wisely" recommendations. pharmacologic properties medical marijuana (MMJ) may allow for decreased incidence CINV; however, little is known about effects MMJ on use antiemetics. This study aimed to determine if cardholder status, which enables access MMJ, associated with antiemetic overuse among patients cancer.

2078 Background: The “Choosing Wisely” (CW) list, released by the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO), highlights low-value procedures. In 2012, CW recommendations advised against use of staging imaging, including Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computerized (CT) and radionuclide bone scans, early breast cancer at low risk metastasis. objective this study was therefore to assess impact ASCO on imaging among stage cancers. Methods: Women above age 66 with an incident diagnoses...
