Abstract:
New nano-fluorescent quantum dots (QD) have excellent optical properties, enabling them widely used in clinical cancer research. When combined with a variety of ligands, quantum dots have been successfully used for early detection of primary tumor, angiogenesis and metastasis, all of which have opened up a new frontier in early diagnosis of cancer.
