Vascular Access for Chemotherapy
Overview
Vascular access is the method used to deliver chemotherapy medications into your bloodstream. In this process, a vascular access device is placed in a vein to ensure safe and easy administration of chemotherapy medications. These devices can be:
Port-a-catheter placement: A silicone port connected to a tube is placed under the skin through a small keyhole. This is the only chemoaccess which works for the long term.
Central venous catheter (CVC): A longer tube placed in a larger vein near your chest, shoulder, or neck.
