Summary

Despite significant advancements in medical technology, cancer remains the world's second-leading cause of death, largely attributed to late-stage diagnoses. While traditional cancer detection methodologies offer foundational insights, they often lack the specificity, affordability, and sensitivity for early-stage identification. In this context, the development of biosensors offers a distinct possibility for the precise and rapid identification of cancer biomarkers. Carbon nanomaterials, including graphene, carbon nitride, carbon quantum dots, and other carbon-based nanostructures, are highly promising for cancer detection. Their simplicity, high sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness contribute to their potential in this field. This review aims to elucidate the potential of emerging carbon-
