Screening and Biosensor-Based Approaches for Lung Cancer Detection

Abstract: Early diagnosis of lung cancer helps to reduce the cancer death rate significantly. Over the years, investigators worldwide have extensively investigated many screening modalities for lung cancer detection, including computerized tomography, chest X-ray, positron emission tomography, sputum cytology, magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy. However, these techniques are not suitable for patients with other pathologies. Developing a rapid and sensitive technique for early diagnosis of lung cancer is urgently need… Show more

“…However, these immunoassay tests require expensive and complex instruments and expert operators 5 . Besides, there is the risk of hazardous radioactive elements that may cause to harmful effects on the patients' body 6 . Regarding improving tumor biomarkers detection, novel bio‐affinity sensors have widely studied and have satisfactorily used for addressing all the aforementioned issues and have considered as efficient analytical tools 7 .…”

“…Radiation damage tumor as well as normal cells by generating free radicals 14,15 . To obtain better results from the high dose of radiotherapy, the surrounding normal tissues should be protected against radiation 16 . Thus, the radioprotective agents are very important in clinical radiotherapy 14 .…”
