Drug Targets in Cellular Processes of Cancer: From Nonclinical to Preclinical Models

Abstract

Cancer has been posing a global health concern due to an increasing number of people who have been struggling day by day. The fight against this global health threat can be accomplished with efficient early diagnosis and theranostic strategies. Cancer biomarker detection and anticancer drug monitoring utilizing the unique features of analytical techniques constitute a vital part of developing powerful cancer diagnosis and treatment methodologies. Hence, electrochemical sensors and biosensors offer practical, sensitive, selective and accurate detection of cancer biomarkers and anticancer drugs with low-cost and portable devices for on-site and in vivo analysis by holding a potential to be an alternative to conventional techniques. A general consideration about the electrochemical sensors and biosensors for the cancer diagnosis and treatment has been given in this context by presenting basic principles of electrochemical sensor and biosensor fabrication and their applications in recent years. Besides, it has been attempted to trigger readers to gain knowledge about the requirement and potency of electrochemical sensing and biosensing strategies in terms of cancer diagnosis, treatment and drug development studies by discussing pros and cons of electrochemical sensors and biosensors and predicting future perspectives.
