Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and its treatment often involves the use of anticancer drugs. However, these drugs can enter the environment through various pathways, including excretion from patients, disposal of unused drugs, and discharge from healthcare facilities. This project will discuss the occurrence, treatment, and ecological risks associated with anticancer drugs in wastewater and natural environments.
