Progress in Analysis and Detection of Salivary Tumor Biomarkers Associated with Oral Cancer

Oral cancer is head and neck cancer, and cancer tissue is located in the oral cavity.The non-invasive early diagnosis is an effective method to reduce the death of the disease.The oral cancer-related substances are first released into the saliva, which is convenient, safe and non-invasive, and is the first choice for screening and early diagnosis of oral cancer.In this paper, the specific types and the commonly used detection methods of the salivary tumor biomarkers at home and abroad were summarized and compared.Specifically, the latest application of new electrochemical biosensor in the detection of the salivary tumor biomarkers associated with oral cancer was mainly described.Futhermore, the summary of its future directions and the potential applications was proposed, which provided reference for the further research and application of the salivary tumor biomarkers in oral cancer.
