Corrigendum to "Identification of Knowledge Gaps Regarding Healthcare Workers' Exposure to Antineoplastic Drugs: Review of Literature, North America versus Europe" [Saf Health Work 5 (4) (2014) 169-174].

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1016/j.shaw.2014.06.001.].

The authors regret to report that the term ‘potential’ was missed before the word cardiotoxicity in the following sentence ‘Occupational exposure to these agents have led to a range of health outcomes reported in healthcare workers including acute effects [2], cardiotoxicity [3], reproductive toxic effects [4-6], and chromosomal damaged – a precursor to cancer development [7,8].’

The issue of concern revolves around cardiotoxicity. This health effect has never actually been reported by healthcare workers exposed to antineoplastic drugs; however, there is a potential for developing this effect given the known toxicological properties of some antineoplastic drugs such as 5-fluoruracil.

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
