Simple and robust polymer-based sensor for rapid cancer detection using serum.

ABSTRACT: We report a polymer-based sensor that rapidly detects cancer based on changes in serum protein levels. Using three ratiometric fluorescence outputs, this simple system identifies early stage and metastatic lung cancer with a high level of accuracy exceeding many biomarker-based assays, making it an attractive strategy for point-of-care testing.
