Nano Biosensors for Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Cancer (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780750362320)

This book includes the most up-to-date point-of-care cancer detection technologies and processes, which are based on biomedical sensors, microfluidics and integrated systems engineering. It compiles detailed literature on various novel applications of nano biosensors in cancer diagnosis by primarily focusing on non-invasive biomarker detection, use of nanoparticles, and biosensor applications. It also includes current advancements and diagnostic tests that can be conducted outside of the laboratory in remote areas. Electrochemical sensors, paper-based microfluidics, and other kit-based diagnostic techniques are just a few of the technologies that can be tweaked to bring cancer detection and diagnosis to more remote parts of the globe. This book is an ideal resource for researchers in the fields of nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, and medical studies.
