A large amount of information on chemotherapy error prevention is available to the practicing oncologist. However, few oncologists have the time and resources to obtain the information and evaluate the evidence. Further, much of the information is generic and does not provide specific direction on how the information can be applied in clinical practice. This manuscript reviews principles of safe chemotherapy administration, identifies key actions to prevent chemotherapy errors, and provides suggestions on how the information can be incorporated into daily practice.
