Chemotherapy exposure check for physiotherapists at work
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether physiotherapists come into contact with chemotherapy drugs during their normal work with patients. It measures skin and internal exposure to see if extra protective steps are needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how nurses and pharmacists handle chemotherapy drugs safely, to reduce risks. It may help improve safety practices for those who work with these drugs.
This observational study looks at how common environmental chemicals may build up in firefighters, measured with urine samples before and after exposure. It may help researchers understand potential health risks in this job—even though you won’t receive study medicine.
This study tests whether a personalized 14-week exercise program, guided by a physiotherapist, can help people with breast cancer during their chemotherapy or hormone therapy before surgery. It also looks at certain biological markers in blood or tissue samples to learn more about how the body responds to treatment and exercise.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (gut microbiome) to see how it is affected by pelvic side effects from cancer treatment, and whether ozone therapy might help. It compares patients who have chronic pelvic side effects and are treated with ozone (cases) to those who do not have these side effects (controls).
This study looks at why some people feel very tired during cancer treatment. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples to study how the body responds to chemotherapy and radiation.
This study asks breast cancer patients about their skin reactions during radiation therapy. By sharing your experience, you can help doctors better understand and manage these side effects.
