  schema:description "If you need many months of treatment into a vein, a central line saves repeated needles. For most people with solid tumours, a randomised trial found an implanted port under the skin had fewer problems than a PICC in the arm or a tunnelled line in the chest. For urgent treatment of leukaemia and similar cancers, a PICC or tunnelled line with two channels may suit better."@en ;
