I hold AML. Yes, a catherter of some sort will be needed. It will be a important procession that ends right at the tip of the heart. Reason self is some of the chemo and other drugs can burn the capillary so a typical IV is not just right. This road the drugs manage the body right at the heart where on earth the concentration is the least possible bc it is mixed beside the blood so speedy.
There are several different types of catheters. My favorite is the port-a-cath. In this situation the catheter is placed lower than the skin and individual access when needed. This device is completly below the skin so when it is impracticable at hand is no maitence aside from have it flushed monthly.
There is also a PICC splash. This is usually inserted in the arm and runs the capillary to the heart. however, this type of catheter have lumens that hang up out of the skin and the insertion site is constanly covered beside a dressing.
There are plentifully of other types that are used for abundant reason. Look over the following website and ask the doc what type of catheter they want to use.

Not sure what genus of "catheter" you are asking almost. ALL treatment usually consists of combination intravenous chemotherapy, chemotherapy put into the spinal fluid by spinal tap, and normally radiation to the brain and spine.
