Abstract

Ovarian cancer is the second most common type of gynecological cancers. Comparing with the worst gynecological cancer, cervical cancer, the prognostication of ovarian cancer is relatively poor. It is challenging to diagnose it in the early stage where proper treatments are most effective. In order to achieve early detection of ovarian cancer, biomarkers with high specificity and affinity is therefore important. In this study, an integrated microfluidic system was developed for the multiple-cell-line and high-throughput screening of OvCa cell-SELEX automatically. An aptamer specific to ovarian cancer cells were successfully screened.
