Cancer cells are commonly affected by antieoplastic agents.
anticancer or antineoplastic agents
Chemotherapy is commonly used to prevent the replication of neoplastic cells by targeting and destroying rapidly dividing cells. These agents work by interfering with cell division and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

Lab values that should be monitored with antineoplastic agents include complete blood count (CBC) for monitoring levels of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets; liver function tests (such as AST, ALT, and bilirubin) to assess liver function; and kidney function tests (such as creatinine and BUN) to evaluate renal function. It is also important to monitor electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium) due to potential imbalances caused by certain antineoplastic agents.

A ceramic or porcelain mortar and pestle would be best to mix with antineoplastic agents because they are non-reactive and do not leach chemicals that may interact with the drugs. It is important to choose a mortar and pestle that is specifically designated for pharmacy compounding to avoid contamination and ensure drug stability. Make sure to clean and dry the mortar and pestle thoroughly after each use to prevent cross-contamination.
