Abstract
Biomarkers assume a crucial and undeniable role in the detection, monitoring, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of a diverse array of cancers type. These indicators are becoming increasingly central within the patient care journey, increasing demand for technologies capable of precise and cost-effective test outcomes. Progress in sensing technology, coupled with the advent of new materials, innovative manufacturing methods, and enhanced precision in sampling, has markedly advanced the detection of cancer biomarkers. The rapid progress in electrochemical biosensor technology has made them versatile tools for analyzing a wide array of biomarkers for clinical applications. Within this assessment, various electrochemical detection techniques for cancer biomarkers are outlined, encompassing illustrative instances showing the benefits of electrochemical sensors customized with a range of nanomaterials (NMs). Additionally, the limitations and potential of both biomarkers and electrochemical sensors in detection are deliberated upon.
