Cancer Agency says a vial of "potentially hazardous" cancer medication has been reported missing in Prince George, B.C., in the last 24 hours. The search prompted the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill to close for nearly three hours Thursday morning while staff searched for the missing medication. Low public riskThe material is a topical medication used in cancer treatment that could be dangerous, though Giene said she believes it's unlikely. "It would have been in a vial that, ultimately, was disposed of, likely as garbage, unintended." "It has been determined there is no significant risk [at the landfill] ... and operations were resumed," said Renee McCloskey, spokeswoman for the Fraser-Fort George Regional District, which manages the landfill.
