title: An overview of continuous infusion chemotherapy.
abstract: Chemotherapy administered by continuous infusion has been shown to be more effective and less toxic than bolus therapy in many instances. Because of advances in infusion-pump and access-device technology, most patients receive their chemotherapy as outpatients. Careful patient selection and comprehensive patient teaching are essential to ensure the success of continuous infusion chemotherapy delivery.
