Comprehensive Analysis of Advancement in Optical Biosensing Techniques for Early Detection of Cancerous Cells

This investigation presents an overview of various optical biosensors utilized for the detection of cancer cells. It covers a comprehensive range of technologies, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, which exploit changes in refractive index (RI) at the sensor surface to detect biomolecular interactions. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensors offer high sensitivity and versatility in detecting cancer biomarkers. Colorimetric sensors, based on color changes induced via specific biochemical reactions, provide a cost-effective and simple approach to cancer detection. Sensors based on fluorescence work using the light emitted from fluorescent molecules detect cancer-specific targets with…
