Abstract
Infusion therapy represents a treatment modality exposing tumor cells for longer periods of time. Infusion therapy includes the following modes of administration: (1) short-term continuous i.v. infusion, usually for 5 days; (2) long-term i.v. infusions for 30 days or more; and (3) intra-arterial infusions that may deliver systemic or regional infusions to the tumor bed.
