This is a tricky question to answer because there are many genetic and molecular markers that you could look at. This review paper by McDermott, Longley & Johnston from 2002 gives a good overview and is available for free online.

In terms of metastases, you can look at a variety of different markers: increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been all been associated with colon cancer metastases.

It is approved that there are several markers about this field of cancer, but I expect the new information about probable specific markers.

A couple of links to news articles. I'm not a medic and could

not distinguish between risk genes, markers of progression,

markers for treatment monitoring and so on.

Dear Marianna Anderle de Sylor,

Your guidance was useful for me.

Thanks a lot

Dear Joachim Pimiskern,

At first step, I will be glad to receive new molecular and not medical information in this field. Please clear your scientific course.

Thanks a lot

The recent investigations about complement therapy for colorectal cancer will make pleasant me. This field can include a wide area, from botanic and natural compounds to new synthetic materials.
