The high toxicity of antineoplastic drugs (ADs) makes them dangerous not only for patients, but also for exposed workers. Therefore, the aim of this review was to provide an updated overview of the biological monitoring of occupational AD exposure in order to extrapolate information useful to improve risk assessment and management strategies in workplaces. Several studies demonstrated that remarkable portions of healthcare workers may have traces of these substances or their metabolites in biological fluids, although with some conflicting results. Nurses, directly engaged in AD handling, were the occupational category at higher risk of contamination, although, in some cases, personnel not involved in AD-related tasks also showed quantifiable internal doses. Overall, further research carried out on greater sample sizes appears necessary to gain deeper insight into the variability retrieved in the reported results. This may be important to understand the impact of the extent of ADs use, different handling, procedures, and cleaning practices, spill occurrence, training of the workforce, as well as the adoption of adequate collective and personal protective equipment in affecting the occupational exposure levels. This may support the achievement of the greatest clinical efficiency of such therapies while assuring the health and safety of involved workers.
抗肿瘤药物(ADs)的高毒性不仅对患者,而且对接触的工人也很危险。因此,本综述的目的是提供 AD 职业暴露生物监测的最新概述,以便推断出有助于改善工作场所风险评估和管理策略的信息。多项研究表明,尽管结果存在一些冲突,但许多医护人员的生物体液中可能存在这些物质或其代谢物的痕迹。直接接触 AD 的护士是污染风险较高的职业类别,尽管在某些情况下,不参与 AD 相关任务的人员也显示出可量化的内部剂量。总的来说,似乎需要在更大的样本量上进行进一步的研究,以更深入地了解报告结果中的可变性。这对于理解 AD 使用程度、不同处理、程序和清洁实践、溢出发生、员工培训以及采用适当的集体和个人防护设备对职业暴露水平的影响可能很重要。这有助于在确保相关工人健康和安全的同时,实现此类治疗的最大临床效果。
