Proteomic Techniques in Colorectal Cancer Research

ABSTRACTThe increasing information about proteomes makes proteomics worth partner for other disciplines, including oncology. Genomic and proteomic approaches are applied in studying carcinogenesis, as proteomics allows more reliable analysis. Tasks of priority in translational research of colorectal cancer are identification and characterization of new molecular markers, study of oncogenic pathways, and discovery of novel targeted therapies. This review focuses on new available proteomic techniques in investigation of colorectal cancer.
