title: [Guidelines for the handling of antineoplastic drugs].
abstract: Chemotherapeutic drugs are potentially harmful. It is the task of the veterinarian to minimize the danger to the staff, the owner and the animal and to educate all persons in contact. Potential harm from the use of cytotoxic medications can never be completely ruled out. However the adherence to certain guidelines can ensure that the risks are minimized. In this article practical guidelines are presented and discussed.
