IntroductionCancer therapy and associated treatment can be administered by several routes including oral, intravenous infusion, intravenous bolus, intraventricular, subcutaneous and intradermal. Many of these routes require administration by an appropriately credentialed cancer nurse or an appropriately informed patient, where the medication is being self-administered. Administration via more specialised routes such as intrathecal and intraperitoneal may require a medical practitioner with specialist or surgical experience. There are a number of safety checks required to ensure safe administration of cancer therapy. Back to top Evidence SummaryPolicies, procedures and equipment for safe administration and handling of cancer therapy must be easily accessible, understood and adhered to by all nurses involved in the administration of cancer therapy.[1][2][3][4] Administering cancer treatment in an area that is suitable for the process and equipped to manage any reasonably foreseeable adverse events associated with the medication or route of administration is an essential part of medication safety. The environment should be free from unnecessary noise and activity. The patient conditions (e.g. seating, lighting) should enable the patient to comfortably receive therapy and encourage easy communication with nursing staff. The availability of local procedures, medical assistance and medications to manage any complications that may arise during administration ensure adverse events are managed appropriately and in a timely manner. Administration of cancer therapy by the wrong route can result in serious or fatal consequences.[5][6][7][8] Back to top Recommendations
