Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A procedure used to deliver anticancer drugs directly to an arm or leg
but not to the rest of the body. The flow of blood to and from the limb is temporarily
stopped with a tourniquet (a tight band around the limb). Catheters (small, flexible
tubes) attached to a pump are put into an artery and a vein in the limb so that blood
can be circulated through the pump into the limb. Anticancer drugs are injected into
the catheters. Wrapping the limb in a heated blanket or warming the drugs or blood
may help the drugs work better.;
