Application of the Graphene Quantum Dots as a sensor of cancers: A review

Proceedings of the International Conference on Science and Science Education August 2015, p. BC.1-8 Available on http://fsm.uksw.edu/ojs/index.php/2015/article/view/14Cancers have been a serious problem that is taking life of a big amount of people all this time. Until now, there is no better treatment to wipe away these cancers when entering the fatal stadium. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the grapheme quantum dots as a sensor of cancers in order to prevent it entering the deathly stadium. We studied the types of quantum dots before choosing graphene as the sensor and how this graphene quantum dots detects the present of cancer cells in the body. We also studied how this quantum dots is synthesized in a variation of methods: top-down methods and bottom-up methods. The final purpose of this paper is to give references of how graphene quantum dots detects the present of cancer cells in the body. The backwards philosophy herein is that the continuous studying of graphene as the quantum dots in purpose of improving its efficiency and accuracy as a sensor of cancer
