  schema:description "A tunnelled line is a soft tube that runs under the skin of the chest for a few centimetres before entering a large vein in the neck or under the collarbone, with its end outside the body. A small cuff under the skin anchors it and helps keep germs out, so it can stay in for months of chemotherapy, blood tests and transfusions."@en ;
