Since cancer becomes the most deadly disease to our health, research on early detection on cancer cells is necessary for clinical treatment. The combination of microfluidic device with cell biology has shown a unique method for cancer cell research. In the present review, recent development on microfluidic chip for cancer cell detection and diagnosis will be addressed. Some typical microfluidic chips focussed on cancer cells and their advantages for different kinds of cancer cell detection and diagnosis will be listed, and the cell capture methods within the microfluidics will be simultaneously mentioned. Then the potential direction of microfluidic chip on cancer cell detection and diagnosis in the future is also discussed.

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (LMWHA) was integrated with superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs). The size distribution, zeta potential, viscosity, thermogravimetric and paramagnetic properties of the LMWHA-Fe3O4 NPs were systematically examined. For cellular experiments, MCF7 breast cancer cell line was carried out. In addition, the cell targeting ability and characteristics of the LMWHA-Fe3O4 NPs for MCF7 breast cancer cells were analyzed using the thiocyanate method and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The experimental results showed that the LMWHA-Fe3O4 NPs were not only easily injectable due to their low viscosity, but also exhibited a significant superparamagnetic property. Furthermore, the in vitro assay results showed that the NPs had negligible cytotoxicity and exhibited a good cancer cell targeting ability. Overall, the results therefore suggest that the LMWHA-Fe3O4 NPs have considerable potential as an injectable agent for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or hyperthermia treatment in breast cancer therapy.

The nanomaterial–cell interface plays an important role in biodetection and therapy. The experimental results in this study indicated that the magnetic nanocomposites with strong positive surface charge but different geometry interacted with cancer cells in different ways, leading to various cell capture efficiency and cytotoxicity.

The early detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood as part of medical diagnosis will give the doctors a head start in the provision and treatment of cancer, and therefore, with the advance in Nano technology, there is an increasing expectation of some form of early detection of circulating tumor cells at a highly sensitive level, without any biomarkers, for both early cancer diagnosis and monitoring disease progression after medical intervention. This technical note reports on the recent development in detection of highly sensitive detection of cancer cells without biomarkers. This novel concept is developed based on a hallmark cancer metabolic pattern: high glycolysis rate. Secretion of high level of lactate acid by cancer cells ultimately results in negative electrical charges on their surfaces, enabling strong binding and capturing by the positively-charged nanoprobes, and subsequent magnetic separation. When nanoprobes are incubated with cancer cells in suspension, binding takes place due to charge differences, and cancer cells are then magnetically separated. The separated cells are enumerated using a flow cytometry and identified by pathological and genome sequencing methods. Preliminary results using the approach have shown exceptionally high cancer cell capture rates, therefore potentially applicable in cancer cell detection in clinical settings.
