Thrombophlebitis without IV is a sign of advanced cance of stomach, pancreas etc. If it is due to I.V. Or chemotherapy then it is just a side effect like any other, not related to advanced cancer. We usually use a surgically inserted port to give chemotherapy as it avoids the thrombophlebitis and also reduces the chances of infection. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.
