All: All regimens inclusive of HEC, AC-based and XELOX regimens.

HEC: Highly-emetogenic regimens (CDDP40, CDDP100 and PF regimens).

AC-based: AC-based regimens (AC, FAC and FEC regimens).

XELOX: XELOX regimen.

*Direction cosine is greater than 0.71, therefore the risk factor is closely related to its principal component.
