Abstract

Introduction: Hypodermoclysis is an infusion route for cancer patients for whom oral and intravenous routes are not available. Considering its usefulness in the control of end-of-life symptoms, it is important to share knowledge and experiences about its benefits. Case Report: Two cases of cancer patients for whom hypodermoclisis was used as route of drug administration. Conclusion: This practice proved to be a safe route, less invasive and effective in the symptomatic treatment of cancer patients in palliative care.
