A review of cytotoxicity associated with cancer treatments as presented in literature was discussed. In all the studies, the research is aware of the cytotoxic effects of the cancer drug and the delivery form such as nanotechnology-based delivery. The scope of the review was limited to showing 1) the need for modulating cytotoxicity and 2) how cytotoxicity has been controlled in actual studies on treatment plans in vivo and in vitro.
