Abstract :
Cytotoxic and hazardous drugs, which mainly include chemotherapeutic agents,(1) have serious well-known side effects. Where we deliberately use these medicines to save the patient s life, these side effects are acceptable. But now we know that the treatment staff who are occupationally exposed to chemotherapeutic agents are at risk of contamination, which can be avoided. Direct contact with chemotherapeutic agents, whether through handling, preparation, or administration represents an exposure risk.(1)
