Abstract

The early detection of tumors and precancerous conditions is vital for cancer diagnosis. Advances in fluorescence microscopic techniques and materials synthesis processes have revolutionized biomarker detection and image-guided cancer surveillance. In particular, novel materials-based diagnostic tools and innovative therapies have facilitated a precise understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. This critical review presents an overview of bioimaging probes, including functionalized chromophoric systems, non-functionalized chromophoric systems, and nanoscale biosensors. Technical challenges and future directions related to these approaches are considered.
