ABSTRACT: This
article reviews the recent developments in microfluidic technologies for in vitro cancer diagnosis. We summarize
the working principles and experimental results of microfluidic platforms for
cancer cell detection, and separation based on magnetic activated
micro-sorting, and differences in cellular biophysics (e.g., cell size and
dielectrophoresis (DEP)).
