cytotoxic

The problem is that combinations of antibiotics may have cytotoxic effects even at doses lower than normally harmful.

If it does work that means its cytotoxic and needs to be evaluated for safety.

So my question is, why is using a radioactive agent here better than using some cytotoxic chemical agent?

To give some background, your own body already tries to kill cancerous cells through cytotoxic t cells.

However, just like with most of other generally cytotoxic treatments, cancer cells quickly evolve resistance to it.

If the food is actively preserved--sugared or salted or what have you--it will be just as cytotoxic if not prepared in a way to dilute or remove the preservative.

The effect on your body (beyond any cytotoxic effects of the particles) is a localized thermal treatment.

Worth noting that potassium is never included in vitamin supplements due to technical limitations (high concentrations of potassium are cytotoxic).

The CD8 (cytotoxic) T cells, if they recognize the antigen, should kill the infected CD4 cells.

After they figured the power side, it turns out that gold nanoparticles are wildly cytotoxic on a number of axes.

Targeting cancer cells with a radioactive payload can bypass many resistance mechanisms common to cytotoxic payloads.

Huh, so a lipid tail and a mixed R/L cyclic peptide head which is cytotoxic?

In such an environment it is difficult to mount an immune response because the Helper T cells are so instrumental to enabling the cytotoxic immune responses instigated by this study (the CD8 cells are your cytotoxic "killer" T cells).
