What this trial studies

This interventional study examines the role of a paramedical consultation before implantable port placement at CHUGA. The procedure is performed by the interventional radiology team under local anesthesia and typically takes under one hour. The study targets adults scheduled for port placement and aims to see if a structured pre-procedure consultation can reduce patient anxiety and influence peri-procedural planning. Enrollment is limited to patients without prior port placements and excludes emergency or non-oncological indications. The lead sponsor is University Hospital, Grenoble.
