This book offers a comprehensive overview of the development and
application of microfluidics and biosensors in cancer research, in
particular, their applications in cancer modeling and theranostics.
Over the last decades, considerable effort has been made to develop
new technologies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Microfluidics has proven to be a powerful tool for manipulating
biological fluids with high precision and efficiency and has
already been adopted by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries. With recent technological advances, particularly
biosensors, microfluidic devices have increased their usefulness
and importance in oncology and cancer research. The aim of this
book is to bring together in a single volume all the knowledge and
expertise required for the development and application of
microfluidic systems and biosensors in cancer modeling and
theranostics. It begins with a detailed introduction to the
fundamental aspects of tumor biology, cancer biomarkers, biosensors
and microfluidics. With this knowledge in mind, the following
sections highlight important advances in developing and applying
biosensors and microfluidic devices in cancer research at
universities and in the industry. Strategies for identifying and
evaluating potent disease biomarkers and developing biosensors and
microfluidic devices for their detection are discussed in detail.
Finally, the transfer of these technologies into the clinical
environment for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients will
be highlighted. By combining the recent advances made in the
development and application of microfluidics and biosensors in
cancer research in academia and clinics, this book will be useful
literature for readers from a variety of backgrounds. It offers new
visions of how this technology can influence daily life in
hospitals and companies, improving research methodologies and the
prognosis of cancer patients.
