An overview of continuous infusion chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy administered by continuous infusion has been shown to be more effective and less toxic than bolus therapy in many instances.

Careful patient selection and comprehensive patient teaching are essential to ensure the success of continuous infusion chemotherapy delivery.
