Chemoport :
Chemoport is a small, implantable device that will be used in the management of cancer during the administration of chemotherapy and other intravenous procedures. The chemoport will be inserted under the skin at the upper chest region, and then it should be connected with a silicone tube to the vein. The insertion of a chemoport can be carried out with a surgical procedure. A small incision is made in the neck region, and then it will gain access to the subclavian vein, or superior vena cava, and the jugular vein. Then, a small opening is created in the vein in order to insert the catheter by creating a pouch under the skin. Then the chemoport can be inserted in that pouch to connect the catheter to the vein. The placement of a chemoport will be performed under the guidance of X-ray imaging called fluoroscopy. The benefits that are seen with the use of a chemoport in cancer treatments will be minimal pain while placing a needle in the chemoport, can return to normal work, and minimal damage to surrounding tissue areas.
