| description | During this century, cancer has become one of the major problem and diseases
which has caused predominant death and will even surpass heart diseases. Both cancer
diseases and chemotherapy have many hazardous side effects which could also affect the
quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients.
Thus this study was performed to detect the main risk factors associated with nausea
and vomiting, anemia, thrombocytopenia and hypercalcemia and to evaluate effectiveness of
respective treatment guidelines. In addition QOL of breast cancer patients with nausea and
vomiting was also evaluated. Prospective and retrospective studies were conducted on solid
cancer patients admitted to Penang, Hospital. Data were collected by using direct person-toperson
interview for the prospective part (nausea and vomiting) and by using specific data
sheet for the retrospective part (anemia, thrombocytopenia and hypercalcemia). The
required data were collected from patients’ files kept in the oncology clinic and the record
