ASCO recently published standards on the safe handling of hazardous drugs in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. ASCO’s standards largely endorse the practices recommended by other stakeholder groups for safely handling hazardous drugs but offer alternatives in areas where more research is needed to identify evidence-based safety measures.
