Role of oncological nursing in stroke of antineoplastic drugs

Abstract

Exposure to antineoplastic drugs poses a potential risk to the health of professionals who handle, administer and dispose of them. The risk of harmful effects arising from exposure to the cytotoxic properties of antineoplastic agents is not restricted to patients, and health professionals may also experience cellular and clinical changes related to occupational exposure to these substances. Professional exposure can occur at any time during the handling of chemotherapy, whether in preparation, administration or disposal.
