Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and the number of deaths is increasing due to the limitations of the available diagnostic tests. Early diagnosis plays an important role in controlling disease progression and response to therapy. Hence, cancer biomarkers are widely exploited in oncology to detect the presence of tumors and to evaluate the subsequent treatment of patients. Biomarker-based biosensors have attracted attention due to their simplicity, rapidity, selectivity and sensitivity. The main obstacle that prevents the development of biosensors is the fact that cancer is a complex set of diseases and only a few biomarkers are exploited by oncologists to detect cancer. This talk will be focusing on the fabrication of biosensors for cancer biomarker detection and highlights various biomarker detection techniques. It will also discuss the limitations associated with some developed systems for immunoassay technology.
