Intravenous Infusion
Definition
A method of delivering medication directly into a vein over a period of time, typically 30-90 minutes.
Detailed Explanation
Most immunotherapy and antibody-based cancer drugs are given by IV infusion because they're large protein molecules that would be destroyed by stomach acid. Infusions are given at cancer centers or infusion clinics. Patients are monitored during and after for infusion reactions. The IV route allows precise dosing and immediate onset of action.
