Summary : To develop a treatment strategy for peritoneal carcinomatosis using a combination of extended peritoneal resections, local destructive procedures and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy creates great concern between healthcare workers involved in these procedures. New professional risks exist: risk of exposure to cytotoxic drugs, environmental risks (inhalation of smoke, aerosolization of chemotherapy agents). Information, education and training of healthcare workers is mandatory in order to ensure proper evaluation, prevention, and management of professional exposure risks in coordination with the occupational health office. |
