Colorectal cancer is a highly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Studying biomarkers for its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment is essential for improving and personalizing colorectal cancer prevention and clinical management. Omic techniques provide an opportunity to better understand CRC and make personalized medicine possible, but also present challenges.
Colorectal cancer is a major health concern since it is a highly diagnosed cancer and the second cause of death among cancers. Thus, the most suitable biomarkers for its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment have been studied to improve and personalize the prevention and clinical management of colorectal cancer. The emergence of omic techniques has provided a great opportunity to better study CRC and make personalized medicine feasible. In this review, we will try to summarize how the analysis of the omic layers can be useful for personalized medicine and the existing difficulties. We will discuss how single and multiple omic layer analyses have been used to improve the prediction of the risk of CRC and its outcomes and how to overcome the challenges in the use of omic layers in personalized medicine.
