Chemotherapeutic Drugs

Cancer is describes as the disease that results due to cellular changes and these changes cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. A cell receives instructions to die so that the body can replace it with a newer cell that functions better. Cancerous cells lack the components that instruct them to stop dividing and to die. Chemotherapeutic drugs CDs are the most widespread worldwide modality used in cancer treatment, and other autoimmune diseases. However, their non selective mechanism of action affects both cancerous and non cancerous cells, that resulting in well documented side effects. Nurses are at risk of suffering side effects. Little negligence or mistake may lead to adverse unpleasant effects for patients, staff and environment. Miss.
