Oncology Drugs

What is the risk for nurses working in the field of cancer (oncology), because of their proximity with drugs that cause cancer and radiation and chemotherapy? I hear the stories of many oncology nurses losing their hair?

Yes, precautions are very important among healthcare workers exposed as anti-neoplastic and radiation are known occupational hazards.

The health effects were reported among hospital workers exposed to anticancer drugs
diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, nausea, rashes, hair loss, adverse reproductive, such as disruption of the menstrual cycle, fetal loss and congenital malformations, etc.

While they are using the necessary precautions in the treatment of chemo and not exposed to radiation, it should not pose a risk to nurses.

Nearly Nill are properly protected.

I work in a veterinary clinic that administered to animals Chemo-everything else to give to human spirit, it is injected in the leg rather than the heart and we are warned not to wealth cleaning cages or handling the syringe without wearing latex gloves. That's it. Latex gloves.

Those who do not follow the appropriate protocol are vulnerable to having the drug get under their skin somehow, and therefore the body absorbs, and for someone who did not need chemo, it is certainly not good. I'm sure there were some nurses who received chemo accidentily in their body a certain way of not following proper protocols and probably made him sick.

All right, do not worry.
