In the field of oncology, healthcare professionals—including oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, and technicians—are at the forefront of treating and caring for cancer patients. However, while these professionals are dedicated to patient care, it is crucial to recognize and address the occupational risks associated with their roles, particularly in the administration and handling of chemotherapy agents and other oncology treatments.
Chemotherapy drugs, although essential for treating cancer, pose potential hazards to healthcare workers due to their toxicity. Therefore, implementing appropriate safety measures is not only necessary for patient well-being but also for protecting healthcare workers from potential long-term health risks.
