Abstract

Emerging microfluidic technologies involving miniaturization for high throughput and integration with various on-line detection modalities hold intriguing advantages for cancer diagnosis, tumor microenvironment modeling, and drug evaluation. This book chapter overviews recent advances in diagnosis and therapy for head and neck cancer using microfluidic-based techniques. The basic working principles and experimental results of key microfluidic platforms for head and neck cancer biomarker analysis, cancer cell detection at single-cell levels, and tumor-on-chip model reconstruction for therapeutic assessment and drug evaluation are introduced.
