A Chemotherapy Port is a relatively simple and painless way to deliver chemotherapy drugs into the body. Chemotherapy is a medical treatment for cancer, which can have many harsh side effects. A Chemotherapy port can be a more comfortable way of administrating chemotherapy and also prove safer for the patients overall health.

To have chemo, they have to feel for the Port and inject the needle into it. The port insures that the patient gets the chemo in the safest possible manner. Approximately 300 of them are used yearly.
