Novel technique could provide early lung cancer diagnosis
Researchers have developed a new technique that has the potential to
identify specific lung cancer markers at the earliest possible stage in a
convenient and reusable way.
The new technique could create a highly sensitive graphene biosensor with the capability to detect molecules of the most-common lung cancer bio-markers.
In addition, the new biosensor design could revolutionise the existing electronic nose (e-nose) devices that identify specific components of a specific vapour mixture — a person’s breath — and analyses its chemical make-up to identify the cause.
“The new biosensors which we have developed show that graphene has significant potential for use as an electrode in e-nose devices.
“For the first time, we have shown that with suitable patterning graphene can be used as a specific, selective and sensitive detector for bio-markers,” said a researcher.
With further development of the devices, a cheap, reusable and accurate breath test for early-stage detection of lung cancer can become a reality, the researchers added in a paper published recently.
Lung cancer is one of the most common and aggressive cancers, killing around 1.4 million people worldwide each year.
