Genotoxic risks to nurses from contamination of the work environment with antineoplastic drugs in Japan.
The aims of the present study were to clarify the work environment contamination by antineoplastic drugs in a hospital ward and to assess the genotoxic risks to nurses who routinely handle antineoplastic drugs in Japan. The exposed group consisted of 19 female nurses who routinely handled antineoplastic drugs. The control group consisted of 18 female nurses who did not handle antineoplastic dru...

a cross-sectional study to determine whether occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs can cause hematologic changes was performed. blood samples were collected from a group of 24 hematology/oncology nurses who were exposed to antineoplastic drugs during a mean preiod of 5.5 years (standard error =1.1). the control group, matched by sex, and age, consisted of 18 nurses, worked on other sect...
full textThe Occupational Hazards of Exposure to Antineoplastic and Chemotherapy Drugs in Nurses. A systematic review
Background: By increasing the incidence of cancer, the use of antineoplastic drugs and consequently, oncology nurses’ exposure to the drugs during daily activities has increased. Because of the importance of professional Nurses' health, the purpose of this study is to answer the question of what risks contact with antineoplastic and chemotherapy drugs in nurses? Method: Studies on the h...

BACKGROUND To determine the relationships of potential occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs with cancer incidence and adverse pregnancy outcomes in a historical prospective cohort study of female registered nurses (RNs) from British Columbia, Canada (BC). METHODS Female RNs registered with a professional regulatory body for at least one year between 1974 and 2000 formed the cohort (n...
full textExposure to Antineoplastic Agents Induces Cytotoxicity in Nurse Lymphocytes: Role of Mitochondrial Damage and Oxidative Stress
Cytotoxicity and mitochondrial parameters were studied in isolated lymphocytes and their mitochondria obtained from occupationally exposed nurses through inhalation exposure to antineoplastic drugs and results were compared to those of unexposed nurses. The group of occupationally exposed nurses consisted of 50 individuals ranging in age from 30 to 35 years. The control group included 50 nurses...
