| Description | Cytotoxic drugs (cytostatics), widely used in the treatment of not only cancer diseases, are substances with potentially dangerous properties for healthcare personnel. Long-term daily exposure to cytostatics is associated with the possible manifestation of their genotoxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic effects. Handling of these drugs (during receipt, storage, preparation, packaging, transport, administration) can lead to contamination of the workplace and thus to exposure of healthcare personnel present. |
