Abstract
Cancer is still a major health concern worldwide, requiring ongoing improvements in methods of diagnosis and treatment. During the past decade, smart biosensors have become essential instruments in cancer theranostics, improving diagnosis accuracy, tracking treatment efficacy, and customizing patient care. This review thoroughly investigates how smart biosensors have revolutionized the field of cancer. The potential of major technical advancements, such as wearable technology, microfluidic platforms, and sensors based on nanomaterials to identify cancer biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity is investigated. A detailed discussion is held regarding clinical applications that include early diagnosis, real-time monitoring of therapy responses, and support for personalized medicine techniques. Future directions targeted at optimizing the therapeutic utility of smart biosensors in oncology are also examined, along with issues pertaining to regulatory routes and clinical translation hurdles. This study highlights the potential of smart biosensors to transform cancer treatment, bringing in a new era of precision medicine and better patient outcomes by combining insights from multiple viewpoints.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Treatment and Research Communications is an international peer-reviewed publication dedicated to providing comprehensive basic, translational, and clinical oncology research. The journal is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, policy, and treatment of cancer and provides a global forum for the nurturing and development of future generations of oncology scientists. Cancer Treatment and Research Communications publishes comprehensive reviews and original studies describing various aspects of basic through clinical research of all tumor types. The journal also accepts clinical studies in oncology, with an emphasis on prospective early phase clinical trials. Specific areas of interest include basic, translational, and clinical research and mechanistic approaches; cancer biology; molecular carcinogenesis; genetics and genomics; stem cell and developmental biology; immunology; molecular and cellular oncology; systems biology; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; cancer policy; and integration of various approaches. Our mission is to be the premier source of relevant information through promoting excellence in research and facilitating the timely translation of that science to health care and clinical practice.
