Methods: 62 patients (33 with primary hepatocellular carcinoma and 29 with hepatic metastasis), who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization( TACE) therapy 78 times in all, were allocated into the azasetron group( administration of azasetron hydrochloride) and the control group( administration of metoclopramide) randomly. The inhibitory effects on nausea and vomiting were observed in the two groups respectively. Results: The antiemetic CR ratio and the response rate( CR + PR) in the azasetron group was 81.0% and 99. 7%, respectively. These results were statistically higher than those in the control group( P
