:
Cells that have a short generation time or rapid mitotic rate are
most sensitive to antineoplastic agents. All cells (both cancerous
and noncancerous) have a blood supply. A lack of contact
inhibition is characteristic of cancer, but this is not associated
with susceptibility to chemotherapeutic drugs.

:
The single-dose 1-mL vial does not have preservatives. In order
to prevent contamination, the nurse will discard the unused
portion of the drug. A 2-mL vial does have preservatives and
would be stored at 2°C to 8°C to be used again. The 2-mL vial
should be discarded 21 days after initial entry to prevent use of
a possibly contaminated product.

does not target the complement system, plasma cell DNA, or
the cell membrane of malignant cells.
