Abstract

Rapidly growing insights into the molecular biology of colorectal cancer led to high hopes for the identification of molecular markers to be used in optimised and tailored treatment regimens for this disorder. However, no molecular marker has yet made it into daily practice. In this review we will discuss some of the potential molecular markers, focus on the lessons learnt from marker development and identify strategies for the future.
