Abstract

The professional who manipulates antineoplastic chemotherapy without the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is at risk of presenting from simple symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, alopecia, allergic reactions and mucosa alterations, to more serious effects, such as: mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and teratogenicity, caused by the undue absorption of these substances.
