Book Next Generation Point of care Biomedical Sensors Technologies for Cancer Diagnosis

Download or read book Next Generation Point of care Biomedical Sensors Technologies for Cancer Diagnosis written by Pranjal Chandra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents recent research on cancer detection methods based on nanobiosensors, which offer ultrasensitive point-of-care diagnosis. Several methods for diagnosing cancer have been discovered and many more are currently being developed. Conventional clinical approaches to detecting cancers are based on a biopsy followed by histopathology, or on the use of biomarkers (protein levels or nucleic acid content). Biopsy is the most widely used technique; however, it is an invasive technique and is not always applicable. Furthermore, biomarker-based detection cannot be relied on when the biomarkers are present in an extremely low concentration in the body fluids and in malignant tissues. Thus, in recent years highly sensitive and robust new cancer diagnosis techniques have been developed for clinical application, and may offer an alternative strategy for cancer diagnosis. As such, this book gathers the latest point-of-care cancer diagnostic methods and protocols based on biomedical sensors, microfluidics, and integrated systems engineering. It also discusses recent developments and diagnostics tests that can be conducted outside the laboratory in remote areas. These technologies include electrochemical sensors, paper-based microfluidics, and other kit-based diagnostic methods that can be adapted to bring cancer detection and diagnostics to more remote settings around the globe. Overall, the book provides students, researchers, and clinicians alike a comprehensive overview of interdisciplinary approaches to cancer diagnosis.

Book Miniaturized Electromagnetic Biosensors for Circulating Cancer Biomarker Detection

Download or read book Miniaturized Electromagnetic Biosensors for Circulating Cancer Biomarker Detection written by Changwook Min and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is one of leading cause of deaths, and responsible for 8.2 million deaths worldwide. Especially, 70% of deaths from cancer occur in low or mid income countries. In order to deliver affordable and accessible cancer care to low income developing countries, it is critical to develop rapid, low cost, and highly accurate tools for cancer detection and treatment. Recently, liquid biopsy and circulating cancer biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), extracellular vesicles (EV), and cell free DNA (cfDNA) have gained great attentions for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring of cancer patients because they can be accessed in less invasive approaches through body fluids while providing quantitative information about original tumors at low cost. To facilitate detection of circulating cancer biomarkers, we developed electromagnetic biosensing systems for rapid and quantitative molecular analysis. First, we report portable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system that detects cancer cells or proteins labelled with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The developed NMR system could detect as low as 20 cancer cells in 5 uL samples. Second, we describe micro-Hall magnetometer that molecularly profiles single cancer cell with magnetic multiplexing. The micro-Hall magnetometer, which consisted of an array of 7 um x 7 um Hall sensors, showed its capability to differentiate magnetic particles with distinct magnetic moments. We applied this technology to molecular profiling of single ovarian cancer cell. Last, we introduce wirelessly powered electrochemical system that detect cancer specific EV and DNA. Using immuno-magnetic sandwich assay, we could enrich almost 100% of EVs from clinical specimens without ultracentrifugation and profile cancer specific transmembrane proteins from as low as 105 EVs. Also, we demonstrated PCR-free detection of single stranded DNA with in-vitro protein synthesis assay. These electromagnetic biosensors will be powerful tools to deliver more accessible and affordable cancer care to resource limited areas in developing countries.

Book Developing Biomarker Based Tools for Cancer Screening  Diagnosis  and Treatment

Download or read book Developing Biomarker Based Tools for Cancer Screening Diagnosis and Treatment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-10-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has long sought to identify biomarkers that could detect cancer at an early stage, or predict the optimal cancer therapy for specific patients. Fueling interest in this research are recent technological advances in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics that can enable researchers to capture the molecular fingerprints of specific cancers and fine-tune their classification according to the molecular defects they harbor. The discovery and development of new markers of cancer could potentially improve cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Given the potential impact cancer biomarkers could have on the cost effectiveness of cancer detection and treatment, they could profoundly alter the economic burden of cancer as well. Despite the promise of cancer biomarkers, few biomarker-based cancer tests have entered the market, and the translation of research findings on cancer biomarkers into clinically useful tests seems to be lagging. This is perhaps not surprising given the technical, financial, regulatory, and social challenges linked to the discovery, development, validation, and incorporation of biomarker tests into clinical practice. To explore those challenges and ways to overcome them, the National Cancer Policy Forum held the conference "Developing Biomarker-Based Tools for Cancer Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment: The State of the Science, Evaluation, Implementation, and Economics" in Washington, D.C., from March 20 to 22, 2006. At this conference, experts gave presentations in one of six sessions. In addition, seven small group discussions explored the policy implications surrounding biomarker development and adoption into clinical practice. Developing Biomarker-based Tools for Developing Cancer Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment: The State of the Science, Evaluation, Implementation, and Economics-Workshop Summary presents the conference proceedings and will be used by an Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee to develop consensus-based recommendations for moving the field of cancer biomarkers forward.

Book Carbon Nanotube Biosensors for Detection of Biomarkers in Breast Cancer Cells

Download or read book Carbon Nanotube Biosensors for Detection of Biomarkers in Breast Cancer Cells written by Benjamin C. King and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection and profiling of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is useful for cancer screening and for managing treatment of carcinoma patients. Label-free technologies aim to accomplish detection rapidly with small, simple micro and nano devices. Carbon nanotubes are favorable molecular sensors due to their unique properties. They have been widely investigated for immunosensing of cancer biomarkers as free proteins, but very little has been done to detect biomarkers in intact cells and much remains to be understood regarding the mechanism of their sensing. We have developed a simple carbon nanotube biosensor for epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) for sensing EpCAM positive cells. Sensor fabrication steps involving minimal air exposure were employed which reduced random noise upon sample introduction to the device. Optimized sensors recognized specific interactions with EpCAM positive MCF-7 cells and did not recognize EpCAM negative MCF-10A cells, producing the same characteristic signal as for blank phosphate buffered saline samples (no interaction). A two sample t-test found that the specific and nonspecific signals were significantly different, p = 0.0235. Specific binding signals are attributed to the combined binding events and negative cell membrane potential.
