Cytotoxic preparations & chemotherapy

Cytotoxic preparations and chemotherapy: zero compromise on precision
In an oncology department, even the slightest dosage error can have a major impact on therapeutic efficacy and treatment tolerance. With QCRx®, you can secure your chemotherapy preparations while reducing the pressure on your teams.

Specific issues of chemotherapy

To understand the usefulness of dedicated analytical control, it is essential to recall the particularities of these treatments.

Cytotoxic drugs have a narrow therapeutic window: underdosing reduces efficacy, overdosing increases toxicity. They therefore require precise dosing and flawless traceability.

Cytotoxics: why is increased monitoring essential?

These characteristics explain why enhanced control can only be a strategic priority.
  • High toxicity;
  • Risks of exposure for staff;
  • Inter- and intra-patient variability;
  • Need to prove conformity for each batch.
