Abstract

Technologies that use surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) have experienced significant growth in biomedical research during the past 4 years. In this review we summarize the progress in SERS for cancer diagnostics, including multiplexed detection and identification of new biomarkers, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and circulating tumor cells. SERS is also used as a non-invasive tool for cancer imaging with immunoSERS microscopy, histological analysis of biopsies, and in vivo detection of tumors. We discuss the future of SERS probes compatible with multiple imaging modalities and their potential for clinical translation (e.g., endoscope-based and intraoperative imaging as tools for surgical guidance). Moreover, we highlight the potential of SERS agents for targeted drug delivery and photothermal therapy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 August 2018.
All research outputs
#6,754,661
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Trends in Biotechnology
#1,515
of 2,856 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,342
of 309,603 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Trends in Biotechnology
#13
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,856 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.5. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,603 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
