Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes in the world and its incidence continues to increase. The most common cancer treatments are limited to chemotherapy, radiation, surgery.
Survival of a cancer patient depends heavily on early detection and thus developing technologies applicable for sensitive and specific methods to detect cancer inevitable task for cancer researches.
Traditional diagnostic methods however are not very powerful methods when it comes to cancer detection in very early stages. As well, some of the screening methods are quite costly and not available for many people.
Therefore, the development of technology that is specific and reliable for detecting cancer at early stages and is easily accessible so that it can function as the first line guidance is of great importance.
Nanotechnology involves the development and engineering of devices so small that they are measured on molecular scale. Because of their small size, nanoscale devices can interact with biomolecules on both the surface and inside the cells, by gaining access to so many areas of the body, they have the potential to detect disease and deliver treatment in ways unimagined before now.
