The risk of chemotherapy leakage(extravasation), pain from multiple punctures may discourage many patients from chemotherapy. KMCH offers solution for these patients with a wide range of CVADs Eg; – PICC Peripherally inserted central catheters – Inserted from the elbow are, Chemotherapy PORT – implanted below the collar bone and invisible to naked eye, Hickman catheters etc. KMCH also provides long duration (upto 48 -72 hours ) of chemotherapy with elastometric pumps which enables patients to continue chemotherapy in the comfort of home and reduces costs of hospital admissions.
