Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Oral cancer is a significant global health concern, with early detection being critical for improving survival rates. Microfluidic technology has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool, enabling rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective analysis of biological samples. This narrative review provides an overview of microfluidic techniques for oral cancer detection, including lab-on-a-chip devices, microfluidic electrochemical detection, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, microfluidic-based PCR, droplet-based microfluidics, optofluidic techniques, acoustic microfluidics, and magnetic microfluidics. The review highlights the advantages of microfluidic technology, including high sensitivity and specificity, rapid detection, and cost-effectiveness. Real-world applications and future directions are also discussed. Microfluidic detection of oral cancer has the potential to revolutionize diagnostic approaches, improving patient outcomes and saving lives.
