Abstract excerpt
Genetic damage in workers occupationally exposed to an antineoplastic drug was studied using the micronucleus (MN) test, the comet assay, the hprt gene mutation assay and the TCR gene mutation assay. The subjects were divided into two groups: (i) 21 workers from a plant producing methotrexate (MTX); (ii) 21 controls were matched according to age, gender and smoking. Fresh blood samples were collected from the...
