Leukemia from dermal exposure to cyclophosphamide among nurses in the Netherlands: Quantitative assessment of the risk
Several studies showed that oncology nurses are exposed to antineoplastic drugs via the skin during daily activities. Several antineoplastic drugs (including cyclophosphamide) have been classified as carcinogenic to humans. This study aims to assess the leukemia risk of occupational exposure to cyclophosphamide. Average task frequencies from the population of oncology nurses in the Netherlands and task-based dermal exposure intensities were used to calculate oncology nurses' dermal exposure levels. A dermal absorption model in combination with a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model was... Mehr ...
