Abstract
newlineCancer is a lethal disease resulting from abnormal cell growth
newlineoriginating from any part of the body. The cancer cells have the ability to
newlinemetastasize among neighboring organs of the body, if untreated or
newlinedisregarded. Clinical providers have the pressure to control the unregulated
newlinegrowth of cells to comfort and to save the patients. Researchers are
newlineperforming detailed study on most of the cancer types to support medical
newlineneeds for the early recognition and diagnosis of the disease. Skin Cancer is
newlinethe one among several other types of cancer. Basal cell carcinoma, squamous
newlinecell carcinoma and melanoma are the main types of skin cancer. Due to the
newlinedepletion of ozone during recent years there is a threat to the human society
newlinefor this type of cancer. Even though skin cancer is more prone to individuals
newlinehaving lighter skin tone, the risk factors are high among people with dark
newlinepigmentation also. Due to changing climatic conditions, work related
newlinecarcinogens and life style of humans the likelihood for skin cancer is elevated.
newlineStudies have shown that there is a rapid rise in the number of cases accounted
newlineunder this type. In India the occurrence of BCC is more compared to other
newlinetwo types of skin cancer.
newlineThe timely need is to develop modern devices for the early detection of
newlinethe disease and to take precautionary actions towards them for the benefit of
newlinemankind. Drug delivery mechanism through proper administration is another
newlinecrucial process to cure diseases. Targeted drug delivery is the present state of
newlineart in health care sector. The proposed work is to develop a methodology to
newlineunderstand the mathematical behavior of the skin in drug diffusion
newlinemechanism. It is also proposed to develop a biosensor model by integrating
newlinegraphene nanomaterial.
