Taurolock
At the beginning of each course of IV anti-tumor treatment, a nurse removes the lock TauroLock ™ and makes rinsing the CVC. At the end of each course, she rinses again the CVC and instills TauroLock ™ solution. Patients will be followed for each treatment, according to the same rhythm of their anti-tumor treatment program up to the end of the study
