Abstract

In recent years, study of cancer processes has been one of the priorities in health research, and this has led to a great deal of success with curative treatments.

Chemotherapy in the hospital is currently experiencing constant growth. Suitable management of cytostatic drugs and the extensive application of nursing care form the basis for the success of this type of treatment.

When treating cancer patients, nursing care should place special emphasis on integral treatment.
