Recently, 1 out of 2 people are diagnosed as cancer, the number of patients who are given chemotherapy increases year by year. As a result, amount of anticancer drugs used also increases. Anticancer drug preparation work is one of pharmacist work. In many hospital, pharmacists prepare anticancer drugs at pharmacy. However, it is enough to take steps to exposure measures at all facilities. According to the United States Pharmacopeial(USP)and the handling standards of hazardous and drugs, there are 3 levels, the first level(safety cabinet), the second level(anticancer agent preparation room in pharmacy) and supplemental engineering control(CSTD). It is described that exposure control should be carried out with exposure control. Strict standards are stated for each. In Japan, efforts to cope with exposure gradually are spreading gradually after exposure GL is published. Proper preparation environment/equipment, personal protective equipment, procedures and supplementary equipment are required for adequate exposure control measures.
