Chemotherapy outpatient planning and scheduling is a complex problem. Many factors feed this complexity such as the variability inherited in all the stages of the oncology and infusion process, and uncertainty in some of its parameters. This paper explains the problem and identifies the different solution methods. Related literature is combined and summarized with focusing on their contributions. Moreover, current gaps in literature are identified and possible research directions are proposed.
