The nausea and vomiting relief time after radiotherapy is related to individual’s physical condition and the location of radiotherapy.

In general, radiotherapy for chest and abdomen will be relieved in about 2 weeks, while radiotherapy for brain may take 1 month to half a year to be gradually relieved. Side effects such as nausea and vomiting caused by radiotherapy for esophageal cancer patients will be relieved in about 2 weeks.
