Answer: cancer (secondary malignancies) — occupational exposure to cytotoxic/antineoplastic chemotherapy agents is associated with mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic risks.
Brief note: chronic low‑level exposure has been linked to chromosomal damage and increased risk of leukemia and other cancers. Use controls: closed‑system transfer devices, biological safety cabinets, appropriate PPE (gloves, gowns, eye/face protection), safe handling/training, spill kits, and proper waste disposal.
