Abstract
Although the extravasation of cytotoxic agents is one of the rarer complications in the context of chemotherapy, it can lead to severe complications when vesicant drugs are involved. Prevention and appropriate treatment are therefore essential, so as to avoid serious sequelae. Quality control and quality assurance are making an appreciable contribution to optimising proceedings in the context of an extravasation event.
