Abstract
Nanomedicine is the medical diagnosis, monitoring and applying treatment at the level of single molecules or molecular assemblies that provide structure, control, signals, homeostasis, and motility in living cells. Quantum dots (QDs) are nanometer-sized fluorescent probes suitable for advanced biological imaging. The nanotechnology will be very useful for the drug delivery and diagnostic approach. The development of a cancer therapy monitoring/diagnostic platform device such a device is intended to provide near real time monitoring of patient blood for cancer cells, cell derived nanoparticulates, such as high molecular weight DNA fragments.
