Best Doctors for Chemoport Treatment in Kolkata

Chemoport :

Chemoport is a short form of Chemotherapy port. This is a type of device that is placed under the skin which is usually present in the chest area. This helps to deliver chemotherapy drugs. On the inside this port like device is connected to the superior vena cava which is a large blood vessel. This ensures that the chemotherapy drug that is necessary to be delivered to the body successfully enters the blood stream.

One main advantage that this medical device provides is that, it ensures less discomfort to the person receiving chemotherapy by avoiding repeated pricks. For implanting the port under the skin, local anesthesia is necessary. A small incision is placed in the upper chest area and the device is inserted through it. The inner catheter is then connected to the vein. The incision is closed on the outside. Chemoport is beneficial for long term chemotherapy.
