Support of gastrointestinal function may alleviate nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy and will not only reduce the discomfort experienced by the patient but will allow better tolerance of the treatment. This study will assess orally administered Seigen alpha EV during chemotherapy for its safety and effects on the nutritional depletion deriving from the chemotherapy. It will also look at its effect on the immune system in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
