ABSTRACT
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.
