Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
Advances on nanotechnology
are enabling manufacturing nanosensors and actuators based on CMOS
manufacturing techniques. The implementation of sensors, nanotransistor and
integrated circuits with nanoscale sizes most recently has become a reality.
Hybrid approaches using nanotubes, photonics and mesoscopic nanowires as
elements for design are accelerating even more the manufacturing of
nanoelectronics. As a consequence of it, the use of nanorobots in medicine is a
natural process on manufacturing techniques now in progress.
The use of nanorobots may
bring unprecedents advances for cancer diagnosis and treatment. It may help
biomedical intervention with minimally invasive surgeries to extract malignant
tumor in brain, and also improve early diagnosis of several diseases. To
accomplish such tasks, the nanorobots can use chemical communication and
sensors to achieve decentralized control for a distributed collective action.
The same approach is useful to the combat of cancer.
A higher gradient of
E-cadherin signals is useful as chemical parameter for identification of
malignant tissues. This information may become crucial for early cancer
diagnosis. Active electromagnetic and thermal nanosensors can enable a broader
range of identification patterns for a more efficient cancer treatment.
Infrared arrays integrated on a single chip within amplifiers and signal
processing capabilities can be successfully used as patterns to design nanochip
sensors for manufacturing nanorobots.
A full study was accepted for
publication at ICARCV, and can be accessed yet on-line at
www.nanorobotdesign.com/papers/communication.pdf. The paper presents the
nanorobots and the system simulation to monitor intensity and concentration of
E-cadherin signals to help in earlier cancer diagnosis. The manuscript
describes the simulation with clinical based data helping as well in
manufacturing design.
