Priapism should be short lived. If not, go to ER.

There are established pre-emptive combos for chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting, depending on emetic risk of the chemo regimen: dexamethasone + ondansetron for moderate risk; dexa + ondansetron + aprepitant for high risk (high doses, full-dose Cisplatin, doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide)

Clearly, induction chemo is a lot less expensive than adding pembrolizumab.

But we have no sense yet on which approach is better.

The details of who benefitted in each do not overlap so I think that can help determine approach. 6/7

Not much excited about dexrazoxane: it may interfere with doxorubicin antitumor activity.
