Abstract: Lung cancer is a most prevalent form of cancer, causing numerous fatalities across the globe among both male and females.Timely diagnosis plays a crucial role in increasing the chances of successful cancer treatment.Recently, there was a remarkable interest in utilizing biosensor-based diagnosis techniques for the early detection of various cancer types.These techniques present several advantages over existing diagnostic methods, including but not limited to their ability to process large volumes of samples, noninvasiveness, cost-effectiveness, provision of easily interpretable data, and multiplexing capability.One of the key components in accurately detecting biomarkers is the utilization of biosensors.Biomarkers refer to biological molecules that are generated by the human body or a tumor, while biosensors are devices designed to identify cancer biomarkers.The article provides a quick summary of traditional lung screening methods.It discusses lung cancer biomarkers, summarizes the functioning of biosensors, and explores various biosensor technologies (including electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric biosensors).
