Chemotherapy is an essential part of cancer treatment. It maybe given as upfront treatment to downstage the disease and make it amenable for surgery, postoperative patients as adjuvant therapy or to control metastatic disease (cancer spread out in the body)
One major fear concerning chemotherapy is the pain of repeated pricking. Risk of extravasation of drug and skin reactions can be a serious problem with improper intravenous access.
Chemoport is a safe method to bypass the problems associated with chemotherapy administration.
Chemoport can be used repeatedly and have a long life upto 5 years. It makes i.v access safer and pain free.
Points to remember – maintain hygiene while handling chemoport for injections, flush every 4 weeks if not in use.
