ANV - Nausea and vomiting that may occur before the start of a chemotherapy session in a patient who has previously received chemotherapy. ARF is caused by triggers such as sights, smells, or sounds in the treatment room. For example, a patient who smells an alcohol swab when starting chemotherapy may later become nauseous or vomit at the smell of an alcohol swab. The more chemotherapy sessions a patient has, the more likely it is that ARF will occur. Also called anticipatory nausea and vomiting
