Abstract
The interest in biosensors technology has been constantly growing over the last few years. It is still the biggest challenge to design biosensors able to detect two or more analytes in a single measurement. Electrochemical methods are frequently used for this purpose, mainly due to the possibility of applying two or more different redox labels characterized by independent and distinguished electrochemical signals. In addition to antibodies, nucleic acids (aptamers) have been increasingly used as bioreceptors in the construction of such sensors. Within this review paper, we have collected the examples of electrochemical immuno- and geno(apta)sensors for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes. Based on many published literature examples, we have emphasized the recent application of multiplexed platforms for detection of cancer biomarkers. It has allowed us to compare the progress in design strategies, including novel nanomaterials and amplification of signals, to get as low as possible limits of detection. We have focused on multi-electrode and multi-label strategies based on redox-active labels, such as ferrocene, anthraquinone, methylene blue, thionine, hemin and quantum dots, or metal ions such as Ag+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and others. We have finally discussed the possible way of development, challenges and prospects in the area of multianalyte electrochemical immuno- and geno(apta)sensors.

Abstract
Current diagnostic and prognostic tests for prostate cancer require specialised laboratories and have low specificity for prostate cancer detection. As such, recent advancements in electrochemical devices for point of care (PoC) prostate cancer detection have seen significant interest. Liquid-biopsy detection of relevant circulating and exosomal nucleic acid markers presents the potential for minimally invasive testing. In combination, electrochemical devices and circulating DNA and RNA detection present an innovative approach for novel prostate cancer diagnostics, potentially directly within the clinic. Recent research in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, voltammetry, chronoamperometry and potentiometric sensing using field-effect transistors will be discussed. Evaluation of the PoC relevance of these techniques and their fulfilment of the WHO's REASSURED criteria for medical diagnostics is described. Further areas for exploration within electrochemical PoC testing and progression to clinical implementation for prostate cancer are assessed.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play several crucial roles in the physiological and pathological processes of the human body. They are considered as important biomarkers for the diagnosis of various disorders. Thus, rapid, sensitive, selective, and affordable detection of miRNAs is of great importance. However, the small size, low abundance, and highly similar sequences of miRNAs impose major challenges to their accurate detection in biological samples. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been applied as promising sensing materials for the fabrication of different biosensors due to their distinctive characteristics, such as high porosity and surface area, tunable pores, outstanding adsorption affinities, and ease of functionalization. In this review, the applications of MOFs and MOF-derived materials in the fabrication of fluorescence, electrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescent, and photoelectrochemical biosensors for the detection of miRNAs and their detection principle and analytical performance are discussed. This paper attempts to provide readers with a comprehensive knowledge of the fabrication and sensing mechanisms of miRNA detection platforms.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have received significant attention owing to their unique properties, especially enhanced sensitivity. Recent advancements in biomedical diagnosis have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as sensitive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. Current diagnostics methods, however, need further improvements with regards to their sensitivity, mainly due to the low concentration levels of miRNAs in the body. The low limit of detection of nanomaterial-based biosensors has turned them into powerful tools for detecting and quantifying these biomarkers. Herein, we assemble an overview of recent developments in the application of different nanomaterials and nanostructures as miRNA electrochemical biosensing platforms, along with their pros and cons. The techniques are categorized based on the nanomaterial used.

Abstract
Nowadays, due to the genetic information carried by nucleic acids, they can serve as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of diseases, including tumors and cardiovascular disease, among others, making genetic testing a hotspot of biomedicine. Therefore, we have designed a universal fluorescence biosensor that can detect multiple DNA sequences with good performance. In our designed biosensor, λ exonuclease is used due to its ability to digest double-stranded DNA from the phosphorylated 5'- end and promote the targeted cycle. The exonuclease is introduced into a DNA hairpin containing a target recognition sequence. Hence, with the target, λ exonuclease-assisted targeted recycling can be activated. The hydrolyzed DNA hairpin triggers a strand displacement reaction between the hairpin probe (H1) and F-Q double DNA strand (F-Q), increasing the distance between the fluorescent chain (F) and quenching chain (Q); thus the fluorescence signal is emitted. It is exciting that the detection limit of the biosensor is 300 fM, which is relatively low, and there is an excellent linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and target concentration. Moreover, the biosensor we designed has universal applicability in the detection of other genes, and the range of RSD is 1.28-2.45%. Hence, it has good application prospects and practical value in the early detection of some diseases and the design of fluorescent biosensors.

Abstract
Environmental toxic pollutants and pathogens that enter the ecosystem are major global issues. Detection of these toxic chemicals/pollutants and the diagnosis of a disease is a first step in efficiently controlling their contamination and spread, respectively. Various analytical techniques are available to detect and determine toxic chemicals/pathogens, including liquid chromatography, HPLC, mass spectroscopy, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. However, these sensing strategies have some drawbacks such as tedious sample pretreatment and preparation, the requirement for skilled technicians, and dependence on large laboratory-based instruments. Alternatively, biosensors, especially paper-based sensors, could be used extensively and are a cost-effective alternative to conventional laboratory testing. They can improve accessibility to testing to identify chemicals and pollutants, especially in developing countries. Due to its low cost, abundance, easy disposal (by incineration, for example) and biocompatible nature, paper is considered a versatile material for the development of environmentally friendly electrochemical/optical (bio) sensor devices. This review presents an overview of sensing platforms constructed from paper, pointing out the main merits and demerits of paper-based sensing systems, their fabrication techniques, and the different optical/electrochemical detection techniques that they exploit.

Abstract
The small non-coding RNA, microRNA-21 (miR-21), is dysregulated in various cancers and can be considered an appropriate target for therapeutic approaches. Therefore, the detection of miR-21 concentration is important in the diagnosis of diseases. Low specificity and the cost of materials are two necessary limitations in the traditional diagnosis method such as RT-PCR, northern blotting and microarray analysis. Biosensor technology can play an effective role in improving the quality of human life due to its capacity of rapid diagnosis, monitoring different markers, suitable sensitivity, and specificity. Moreover, bioanalytical systems have an essential role in the detection of biomolecules or miRNAs due to their critical features, including easy usage, portability, low cost and real-time analysis. Electrochemical biosensors based on novel nanomaterials and oligonucleotides can hybridize with miR-21 in different ranges. Moreover, optical biosensors and piezoelectric devices have been developed for miR-21 detection. In this study, we have evaluated different materials used in bioanalytical systems for miR-21 detection as well as various nanomaterials that offer improved electrodes for its detection.

Abstract
In the last few decades, nanomaterials have made great advances in the biosensor field, thanks to their ability to enhance several key issues of biosensing analytical tools, namely, sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, and reproducibility. The recent trend of sustainability has boosted the progress of novel and eco-designed electrochemical paper-based devices to detect easily the target analyte(s) with high sensitivity in complex matrices. The huge attention given by the scientific community and industrial sectors to paper-based devices is ascribed to the numerous advantages of these cost-effective analytical tools, including the absence of external equipment for solution flow, thanks to the capillary force of paper, the fabrication of reagent-free devices, because of the loading of reagents on the paper, and the easy multistep analyses by using the origami approach. Besides these features, herein we highlight the multifarious aspects of the nanomaterials such as (i) the significant enlargement of the electroactive surface area as well as the area available for the desired chemical interactions, (ii) the capability of anchoring biorecognition elements on the electrode surface on the paper matrix, (iii) the improvement of the conductivity of the cellulose matrix, (iv) the functionality of photoelectrochemical properties within the cellulose matrix, and (v) the improvement of electrochemical capabilities of conductive inks commonly used for electrode printing on the paper support, for the development of a new generation of paper-based electrochemical biosensors applied in the biomedical field. The state of the art over the last ten years has been analyzed highlighting the various functionalities that arise from the integration of nanomaterials with paper-based electrochemical biosensors for the detection of biomarkers.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major killers across the globe. According to the WHO, more than 10 million people succumbed to cancer in the year 2020 alone. The early detection of cancer is key to reducing the mortality rate. In low- and medium-income countries, the screening facilities are limited due to a scarcity of resources and equipment. Paper-based microfluidics provide a platform for a low-cost, biodegradable micro-total analysis system (µTAS) that can be used for the detection of critical biomarkers for cancer screening. This work aims to review and provide a perspective on various available paper-based methods for cancer screening. The work includes an overview of paper-based sensors, the analytes that can be detected and the detection, and readout methods used.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate detection of nucleic acid biomarkers is critical for early cancer diagnosis, disease monitoring, and clinical treatment. In this study, we developed a switch fluorescence biosensor for simple and high-efficient detection of nucleic acid biomarkers using 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-modified single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes (FAM-P1/P2), and zirconium porphyrin metal-organic framework nanoparticles (ZrMOF) acted as fluorescence quencher. FAM-P1/P2 probes were adsorbed on ZrMOF surface because of π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Fluorescence quenching event occurred by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and photo-induced electron transfer (PET) processes, thereby achieving the "off" fluorescence status. Once the specific binding was formed between the fluorescence probes and the targets, the rigid double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) structures were released from ZrMOF surface, resulting in the recovery of fluorescence and the "on" status. Because of the superior adsorption ability of ZrMOF toward ssDNA than dsDNA, the switch of fluorescence signals from "off" to "on" allowed rapid and ultrasensitive detection of ssDNA (T1) and microRNA-21 (miR-21) within 30 min. The limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) for T1 and miR-21 were 2 fM and 11 aM, respectively. Moreover, the proposed strategy was very simple as it worked by the facile adsorption-quenching-recovery mechanism without difficult and complicated immobilization processes. Also, this biosensor showed an excellent analytical performance in the detection of miR-21 in human serum samples. Therefore, this biosensor might be considered a potential tool for the detection of DNA and miRNA biomarkers in clinical samples.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important non-coding, single-stranded RNAs possessing crucial regulating roles in human body. Therefore, miRNAs have received extensive attention from various disciplines as the aberrant expression of miRNAs are tightly related to different types of diseases. Furthermore, the exceptional stability of miRNAs has presented them as biomarker with high specificity and sensitivity. However, small size, high sequence similarity, low abundance of miRNAs impose difficulty in their detection. Hence, it is of utmost importance to develop accurate and sensitive method for miRNA biosensing. Electrochemical biosensors have been demonstrated as promising solution for miRNA detection as they are highly sensitive, facile, and low-cost with ease of miniaturization. The incorporation of nanomaterials to electrochemical biosensor offers excellent prospects for converting biological recognition events to electronic signal for the development of biosensing platform with desired sensing properties due to their unique properties. This review introduces the signal amplification strategies employed in miRNA electrochemical biosensor and presents the feasibility of different strategies. The recent advances in nanomaterial-based electrochemical biosensor for the detection of miRNA were also discussed and summarized based on different types of miRNAs, opening new approaches in biological analysis and early disease diagnosis. Lastly, the challenges and future prospects are discussed.

Abstract
A highly sensitive electrochemical biosensors has been developed for the detection of multiplex micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) by modifying an electrode with reduced graphene oxide/poly(2-aminobenzylamine)/gold nanoparticles and adopting porous, hollow silver-gold nanoparticles as tagged labeling with metal ions. In addition, an anti-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-RNA hybrid [S9.6] antibody was used to detect different hybridized capture DNAs and miRNAs that can detect multiple miRNAs simultaneously. The developed electrochemical platform exhibits high selectivity, stability, and sensitivity with a wide linear range from 1 fM to 10 nM and a low detection limit of 0.98 fM, 3.58 fM, and 0.25 fM for miRNA-155, miRNA-21, and miRNA-16, respectively. In addition, the proposed electrochemical biosensor capable for the simultaneous detection of miRNA-155, miRNA-16, and miRNA-21, which are breast cancer biomarkers, in normal human serum, can be adopted and potentially used for breast cancer screening.

Abstract
With characters of low cost, portability, easy disposal, and high accuracy, as well as bulky reduced laboratory equipment, paper-based sensors are getting increasing attention for reliable indoor/outdoor onsite detection with nonexpert operation. They have become powerful analysis tools in trace detection with ultra-low detection limits and extremely high accuracy, resulting in their great popularity in medical detection, environmental inspection, and other applications. Herein, we summarize and generalize the recently reported paper-based sensors based on their application for mechanics, biomolecules, food safety, and environmental inspection. Based on the biological, physical, and chemical analytes-sensitive electrical or optical signals, extensive detections of a large number of factors such as humidity, pressure, nucleic acid, protein, sugar, biomarkers, metal ions, and organic/inorganic chemical substances have been reported via paper-based sensors. Challenges faced by the current paper-based sensors from the fundamental problems and practical applications are subsequently analyzed; thus, the future directions of paper-based sensors are specified for their rapid handheld testing.

Abstract
The engineering of advanced materials capable of mimicking the cellular micro-environment while providing cells with physicochemical cues is central for cell culture applications. In this regard, paper meets key requirements in terms of biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, porosity, mechanical strength, ease of physicochemical modifications, cost, and ease of large-scale production, to be used as a scaffold material for biomedical applications. Most notably, paper has demonstrated the potential to become an attractive alternative to conventional biomaterials for creating two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) biomimetic cell culture models that mimic the features of in vivo tissue environments for improving our understanding of cell behavior (e.g. growth, cell migration, proliferation, differentiation and tumor metastasis) in their natural state. On the other hand, integration of plasmonic nanomaterials (e.g. gold nanoparticles) within the fibrous structure of paper opens the possibility to generate multifunctional scaffolds equipped with biosensing tools for monitoring different cell cues through physicochemical signals. Among different plasmonic based detection techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy emerged as a highly specific and sensitive optical tool for its extraordinary sensitivity and the ability for multidimensional and accurate molecular identification. Thus, paper-based plasmonic substrates in combination with SERS optical detection represent a powerful future platform for monitoring cell cues during cell culture processes. To this end, in this review, we will describe the different methods for fabricating hybrid paper-plasmonic nanoparticle substrates and their use in combination with SERS spectroscopy for biosensing and, more specifically, in cell culture applications.

Abstract
Lab-on-paper, or microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), use paper as a substrate material, and are patterned with a system of microchannels, reaction zones and sensing elements to perform analysis and detection. The sample transfer in such devices is performed by capillary action. As a result, external driving forces are not required, and hence the size and cost of the device are significantly reduced. Lab-on-paper devices have thus attracted significant attention for point-of-care medical diagnostic purposes in recent years, particularly in less-developed regions of the world lacking medical resources and infrastructures. This review discusses the major advances in lab-on-paper technology for blood analysis and diagnosis in the past five years. The review focuses particularly on the many clinical applications of lab-on-paper devices, including diabetes diagnosis, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) detection, kidney function diagnosis, liver function diagnosis, cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) analysis, sickle-cell disease (SCD) and phenylketonuria (PKU) analysis, virus analysis, C-reactive protein (CRP) analysis, blood ion analysis, cancer factor analysis, and drug analysis. The review commences by introducing the basic transmission principles, fabrication methods, structural characteristics, detection techniques, and sample pretreatment process of modern lab-on-paper devices. A comprehensive review of the most recent applications of lab-on-paper devices to the diagnosis of common human diseases using blood samples is then presented. The review concludes with a brief summary of the main challenges and opportunities facing the lab-on-paper technology field in the coming years.

Abstract
Effective and simultaneous monitoring of the abnormal expression of certain microRNAs (miRNAs), especially for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155, can indicate drug resistance in lung cancer. In this work, T7 exonuclease (T7 Exo)-assisted target recycling amplification coupled with the extensive fluorescence quenching of graphene oxide (GO) was designed for the simultaneous detection of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 using FAM- and ROX-labeled single-strand DNA probes. Through this method, the variable emission intensities of FAM and ROX caused by the introduction of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155, respectively, were obtained with high sensitivity. The method exhibited excellent analytical performance for simultaneous detection of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 without cross-interference. The linear range was from 0.005 nM to 5 nM over three orders of magnitude, with detection limits as low as 3.2 pM and 4.5 pM for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155, respectively. Furthermore, the recovery (92.49-103.67%) and relative standard deviation (RSD < 4.8%) of the standard addition test of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 in human plasma suggested the potential for drug resistance warning in clinical practice via this simple strategy. A homogeneous T7 Exo-assisted signal amplification combined with GO quenching platform was developed for accurate, sensitive and simultaneous analysis of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 for drug resistance warning in lung cancer. This simple method exhibited a wide linear range and low LODs for miR-21 and miR-155.

Abstract
In the present work, a paper-based electrode assemble was developed and implemented to detect target microRNA 155 (miRNA 155) via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. In this concept, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified paper based electrode assemble system (AuNP-PE) was designed, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and EIS measurements. The impedimetric detection of miRNA 155 was performed by measuring the fractional change at the charge transfer resistance (Rct). The detection limits were found as 33.8 nM in PBS and 93.4 nM in fetal bovine serum (FBS) medium, respectively. The selectivity of the proposed assay was tested against to non-complementary (NC) and mismatch (MM) miRNA sequences in the presence of mixture sample containing miRNA:NC (1:1) and miRNA:MM (1:1) in PBS (pH 7.40) or FBS. The analytical performance and the selectivity of impedimetric biosensor were also tested in FBS.

Abstract
Early and timely diagnosis of cancer plays a decisive role in appropriate treatment and improves clinical outcomes, improving public health. Significant advances in biosensor technologies are leading to the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, making the testing process faster, easier, cost-effective, and suitable for on-site measurements. Moreover, the incorporation of various nanomaterials into the sensing platforms has yielded POC testing (POCT) platforms with enhanced sensitivity, cost-effectiveness and simplified detection schemes. POC cancer diagnostic devices provide promising platforms for cancer biomarker detection as compared to conventional in vitro diagnostics, which are time-consuming and require sophisticated instrumentation, centralized laboratories, and experienced operators. Current innovative approaches in POC technologies, including biosensors, smartphone interfaces, and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices are expected to quickly transform the healthcare landscape. However, only a few cancer POC devices (e.g. lateral flow platforms) have been translated from research laboratories to clinical care, likely due to challenges include sampling procedures, low levels of sensitivity and specificity in clinical samples, system integration and signal readout requirements. In this review, we emphasize recent advances in POC diagnostic devices for cancer biomarker detection and discuss the critical challenges which must be surmounted to facilitate their translation into clinical settings.

Abstract
Applications of electrochemical detection methods in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) has revolutionized the area of point-of-care (POC) testing towards highly sensitive and selective quantification of various (bio)chemical analytes in a miniaturized, low-coat, rapid, and user-friendly manner. Shortly after the initiation, these relatively new modulations of μPADs, named as electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs), gained widespread popularity within the POC research community thanks to the inherent advantages of both electrochemical sensing and usage of paper as a suitable substrate for POC testing platforms. Even though general aspects of ePADs such as applications and fabrication techniques, have already been reviewed multiple times in the literature, herein, we intend to provide a critical engineering insight into the area of ePADs by focusing particularly on the practical strategies utilized to enhance their analytical performance (i.e. sensitivity), while maintaining the desired simplicity and efficiency intact. Basically, the discussed strategies are driven by considering the parameters potentially affecting the generated electrochemical signal in the ePADs. Some of these parameters include the type of filter paper, electrode fabrication methods, electrode materials, fluid flow patterns, etc. Besides, the limitations and challenges associated with the development of ePADs are discussed, and further insights and directions for future research in this field are proposed.

Abstract
The simplification of the analytical procedures, including cost-effective materials and detectors, is a current research trend. In this context, paper has been identified as a useful material thanks to its low price and high availability in different compositions (office, filter, chromatographic). Its porosity, flexibility, and planar geometry permit the design of flow-through devices compatible with most instrumental techniques. This article provides a general overview of the potential of paper, as substrate, on the simplification of analytical chemistry methodologies. The design of paper-based sorptive phases is considered in-depth, and the different functionalization strategies are described. Considering our experience in sample preparation, special attention has been paid to the use of these phases under the classical microextraction-analysis workflow, which usually includes a chromatographic separation of the analytes before their determination. However, the interest of these materials extends beyond this field as they can be easily implemented into spectroscopic and electrochemical sensors. Finally, the direct analysis of paper substrates in mass spectrometry, in the so-called paper-spray technique is also discussed. This review is more focused on presenting ideas rather than the description of specific applications to draw a general picture of the potential of these materials.

Abstract
Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as increasingly important target analytes, their biorecognition remains challenging due to their small size, high sequence homology, and low abundance in clinical samples. Nanospheres and microspheres have also gained increasing attention in biosensor applications due to their high specific surface area and the wide variety of compositions available. In this study, chemically designed and synthesized microspheres with active functional groups were used to promote effective miRNA immobilization resulting in better biorecognition. Upon conjugation with fluorescence-labeled complimentary probes, acylate-based spheres have indirectly detected MiR159, offering significantly enhanced analytical sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy while yielding a considerably low limit of detection (LOD) of 40 picomolar. Furthermore, MiR159 presence, which is known to be inversely correlated to breast cancer incidence and progression, was successfully detected in a competitive assay, which is promising for upgrading the current assay to clinical use.

Abstract
In healthcare, new diagnostic tools that help in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of diseases rapidly and accurately are in high demand. For in-situ measurement of disease or infection biomarkers, point-of-care devices provide a dramatic speed advantage over conventional techniques, thus aiding clinicians in decision-making. During the last decade, paper-based analytical devices, combining paper substrates and electrochemical detection components, have emerged as important point-of-need diagnostic tools. This review highlights significant works on this topic over the last five years, from 2015 to 2019. The most relevant articles published in 2018 and 2019 are examined in detail, focusing on device fabrication techniques and materials applied to the production of paper fluidic and electrochemical cell architectures as well as on the final device assembly. Two main approaches were identified, that are, on one hand, those ones where the fabrication of the electrochemical cell is done on the paper substrate, where the fluidic structures are also defined, and, on the other hand, the fabrication of those ones where the electrochemical cell and liquid-driving paper component are defined on different substrates and then heterogeneously assembled. The main limitations of the current technologies are outlined and an outlook on the current technology status and future prospects is given.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and nanomaterial based electrochemical biosensors (ECBs) have achieved great development in many fields, such as clinical diagnosis, food analysis, and environmental monitoring. Nowadays, the single-handed pursuit of sensitivity and accuracy cannot meet the demands of detection in many in situ and point-of-care (POC) circumstances. More and more attention has been focused on simplifying the operation procedure and reducing detection time, and thus no-wash assay has become one of the most effective ways for the continuous development of ECBs. However, there are many challenges to realize no-wash detection in the real analysis, such as redox interferences, multiple impurities, non-conducting protein macromolecules, etc. Furthermore, the complex detection circumstance in different application fields makes the realization of no-wash ECBs more complicated and difficult. Thanks to the updated nanotechnology and nanomaterials, in-depth analysis of the obstacles in the detection process and various methods for fabricating no-wash ECBs, most issues have been largely resolved. In this review, we have systematically analyzed the nanomaterial based design strategy of the state-of-the-art no-wash ECBs in the past few years. Following that, we summarized the challenges in the detection process of no-wash ECBs and their applications in different fields. Finally, based on the summary and analysis in this review, we also evaluated and discussed future prospects from the design to the application of ECBs.

Abstract
Effective cancer treatment requires early detection and monitoring the development progress in a simple and affordable manner. Point-of care (POC) screening can provide a portable and inexpensive tool for the end-users to conveniently operate test and screen their health conditions without the necessity of special skills. Electrochemical methods hold great potential for clinical analysis of variety of chemicals and substances as well as cancer biomarkers due to their low cost, high sensitivity, multiplex detection ability, and miniaturization aptitude. Advances in two-dimensional (2D) material-based electrochemical biosensors/sensors are accelerating the performance of conventional devices toward more practical approaches. Here, recent trends in the development of 2D material-based electrochemical biosensors/sensors, as the next generation of POC cancer screening tools, are summarized. Three cancer biomarker categories, including proteins, nucleic acids, and some small molecules, will be considered. Various 2D materials will be introduced and their biomedical applications and electrochemical properties will be given. The role of 2D materials in improving the performance of electrochemical sensing mechanisms as well as the pros and cons of current sensors as the prospective devices for POC screening will be emphasized. Finally, the future scopes of implementing 2D materials in electrochemical POC cancer diagnostics for the clinical translation will be discussed.
