AFM Studies of Thin Films as Nanobiosensor for Early Detection of Prostate Cancer

Article Preview

Abstract:

India has the highest incidences of prostate cancer in the world. The elevated occurrence of prostate cancer in India has long been linked with the lifestyle and family history. The survival rate of prostate cancer is 6080% when detected during its early stages; however, this number drops to 3040% when the cancer is diagnosed during the advanced stages. A sol-gel based nanobio sensor can be developed for the detection of prostate cancer from blood using Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a prostate cancer marker. Solgel-derived materials can be exploited for the manufacturing of various optoelectronic devices, including sensors optodes and their protective layers, as well as other kinds of coatings. One of the objectives of present study is to explicate the changes in the internal environment of the sol-gel.
