| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There is a lack of knowledge on the prevention of indirect exposure to anticancer agents among the family members of patients receiving chemotherapy. In addition, previous studies have shown that family members of cancer patients could be indirectly exposed to anticancer agents via excrements. In the home environment, avoiding the common use of restrooms with such patients has been shown to be an effective preventive measure. However, in some home environments, it could be a difficult measure to execute. To clarify whether general cleaning could prevent the contamination due to anticancer agents, we examined it experimentally. The results showed that although general cleaning of restrooms could not eliminate chemotherapeutic agents completely, it could greatly reduce contamination. Thus, we consider that general cleaning of restrooms in the home environment could greatly reduce the level of indirect exposure to anticancer agents among family members of cancer patients.
