Abstrakt: Cancer remains a major global health challenge with a high mortality rate, as evidenced by the rise in new cases every year. Conventional diagnostic methods like PET scans, MRIs, and biopsies, despite being widely used, suffer from significant drawbacks such as high radiation exposure, difficulty in distinguishing malignant from benign tumors, and invasiveness. Early detection, which is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and survival rates, is hindered by the asymptomatic nature of early-stage cancer and the limitations of current diagnostic tools. Cancer biomarkers, detectable in body fluids, offer valuable diagnostic information, and recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of highly sensitive nano-biosensors. This review explores recent advancements (2022-2024) in the field of ultrasensitive nano-biosensors, emphasizing the strategic integration of nanomaterials to enhance sensitivity and accuracy in cancer biomarker detection. It highlights how precise nanomaterial positioning in sensor components like electrodes and bioreceptors enables early cancer diagnosis at low biomarker concentrations. These innovations underscore the transformative potential of nanomaterials in revolutionizing early cancer diagnostics, improving patient care, and enhancing survival outcomes.
