Cancer Biomarkers in Diagnosis and Therapeutics

Abstract

Cancer biomarkers play an essential role in early diagnosis, progression, prediction, and potential response of treatment in cancer patients. However, the traditional cancer biomarkers detection techniques lack specificity and selectivity with drawbacks, such as irreproducibility and overdiagnosis. Nanomaterials, with their unique properties, provide efficient, reliable biosensing methods with high sensitivity and selectivity. This chapter represents an overview of the development of nanomaterials-based biosensing techniques and the integration of these nanomaterials in other techniques, such as mass spectrometry (MS), Raman spectroscopy, optical detection, electrical and electrochemical detection, and lab-on-a-chip technology for detection of cancer biomarkers.
