Abstract
Compliance in the Duration of Administration of Anticancer Chemotherapy: Comparative Study of Two Different Administration Modalities (PVC versus IVAD)
Highlights
Anti-cancer chemotherapy is one of the main therapeutic means against cancer
Adherence to nursing good chemotherapy practice recommendations may allow for better compliance of administrative protocols
We repeatedly analyzed the duration of administration of peripheral venous chemotherapy sessions by comparing them with those administered by implantable chamber catheters
Summary
Anti-cancer chemotherapy is one of the main therapeutic means against cancer. It is most often done by intravenous infusions of veinotoxic drugs at very regular intervals over several months. This requires good, reliable and comfortable venous access. Implantable central venous access devices, marketed for the first time in 1982, have become indispensable in the administration of chemotherapy [1]. We repeatedly analyzed the duration of administration of peripheral venous chemotherapy sessions by comparing them with those administered by implantable chamber catheters. This study could serve as an advocacy tool to facilitate the accessibility of implantable chamber catheters for patients treated with chemotherapy
