Abstract

In this chapter, we focus on one of the most important applications of graphene-based nanomaterials—cancer diagnosis. Recently, there have been a lot of interest on how to use these nanomaterials and explore their properties—majorly optical properties in visualization and sensing of tumor cells. We start with a discussion about the origin of fluorescence in these quantum dots and how they are being engineered for our biological application. We further explore various modalities—contrast and Raman imaging—that are being used along with the optical properties to enhance the diagnosis with more sensitivity.
