| Abstract |
While the use of cytostatic drugs in hospitals has been widely documented, the risk of exposure and its possible adverse health effects in workers during the manufacture of these drugs have not been studied until now. The principal stages in the production of cytostatic drugs are reviewed along with the hazards during the different stages of production, preventive measures and medical supervision of personnel. |
