A Review on Nanosensors for Cancer Treatment

Gargi Rajvanshi

Abstract


Cancer is a major burden today and one of the leading causes of death globally. Nanomaterials in sensors holds the promise to detect cancer much earlier and hence improve long-term survival of the patients. Some of the unique features of nanosensors are real-time electrical signal transduction, exquisite selectivity and ultrahigh sensitivity. The use of nanotechnology for drug delivery in cancer therapy has raised concerns worldwide. This review focusses on the use of nanosensors for the early diagnosis of cancer and for the therapeutic drug monitoring.

Keywords: nanosensors, cancer, drug monitoring, nanomaterials
