Early and reliable diagnostic of cancer is mandatory to increase patient survival, thus requiring efficient and reliable analytical methods for such a purpose. Within this context, different strategies implying the development of electrochemical biosensors for the sensitive, selective and rapid multiplexed biosensing of genetic or protein cancer-related biomarkers are addressed in this presentation. In particular, novel sensing platforms have been developed for the determination of miRs, interleukin (IL)-8 mRNA, IL-8 protein, and cancer specific receptors. The developed methodologies allow for the determination of the target analytes at clinically relevant levels in complex samples: cancer cells, human tissues cell lysates, serum and raw saliva and can be easily extended to the determination of other relevant biomarkers.
