Comorbidity was detected in 15 patients (83.3%). 89.5% of patients had indicated that they were informed enough before the procedure. 57.9% of the patients responded to question of fear of complication as “yes”. According to these responses, 52.6% of the patients emphasized their discomfort as “little”.Conclusion: This survey-based assessment study points out that most of the cancer patients are contented for being implanted with an implantable venous port catheter. Having an implantable venous port catheter is safer and easier way for cancer patients. Moreover, it gives patients more freedom of movement
