We give all the facilities in day care unit which includes best nursing services, dietetics services and counselling for all Oncology patients.
Chemo Port
Chemo port is a Catheter (long, hollow plastic tube) connected to a plastic and metal reservoir. It is placed in the chest, the catheter tip will be in a large vein in the chest. The port itself will be under the skin of the chest, below your collarbone and above the breast tissue.
Purpose of a Port
A port can stay in place for months or even years, if needed. Certain drugs cannot be given through a standard IV, but they can be given through the port. Post have a lower risk of infection, it avoids multiple venous punctures for ongoing chemotherapy.
