How Can Nanotechnology Help in Skin Cancer Detection?
Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for the early detection of skin cancer. One prominent approach involves the use of nanoparticles that can specifically bind to cancer cells. These nanoparticles can be tagged with fluorescent markers, making cancer cells glow under specific wavelengths of light. This technique allows for the visualization of cancerous cells at a very early stage, potentially before they become visible to the naked eye. Another promising method involves biosensors, which can detect cancer biomarkers in bodily fluids such as blood or urine with high sensitivity and specificity.
