Ältere Erwachsene Mann Krebs Patienten subkutane Chemotherapie IV Brust Port Katheter - Stock-Fotografie

A few hours after minor subcutaneous implant surgery, a senior adult man cancer survivor - and imminent preventative chemotherapy medicine patient - shows off the smooth shaven, bruised skin surrounding the bump of his newly embedded intravenous IV central venous catheter chest port. This temporary medical equipment catheter port will remain in place through a three month, bi-weekly "adjuvant" (proactive, preventative) chemotherapy protection regimen. Several months after the chemo is completed - assuming subsequent medical scans and blood tests, etc. indicate all cancer has been eliminated - the port will be removed during another minor outpatient surgical procedure.
