Cutaneous bacterial colonization, modalities of chemotherapeutic infusion, and catheter-related bloodstream infection in totally implanted venous access devices

Goals of work Prospective clinical study to evaluate patients suffering from solid tumor using a totally implanted venous access device (TIVAD) to determine: (1) if there is a relationship between cutaneous contamination at port insertion site and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBI); (2) development modalities of CRBI; (3) if there is a relationship between chemotherapy administration modalities by push/bolus versus continuous infusion and CRBI.
