Abstract

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality among women worldwide. However, early detection can significantly reduce mortality rates and mitigate subsequent complications related to both economic burden and mental well-being. Despite the development in the field of medical diagnosis, the death rates due to ovarian cancer have sharply increased. Among the recent technologies suggested as suitable diagnostic techniques for the early detection of ovarian cancer, biosensor technology has emerged as a cutting-edge technology, with electrochemical biosensors providing one of the most efficient types of biosensors. Therefore, this review discusses the application of electrochemical biosensors as a viable alternative to conventional diagnostic techniques for the timely identification of ovarian cancer, its advantages over other types of biosensors and conventional diagnostic techniques, and the types of electrochemical biosensors.
