Abstract

The article reports a study which was conducted to assess the risk of totally implantable port system failure in patients with advanced cancer. The results indicate that receiving palliative care immediately after implantation was substantially associated with premature port removal due to infection and/or occlusion. Further research should be conducted to compare outcomes of various central venous access devices in patients with advanced cancer.
