Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health issue, with countless individuals suffering. With its bleak outlook, the number of deaths caused by CRC can only be reduced if new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are identified and developed quickly. Recent developments in screening programme development and patient management have been encouraging, but many unanswered questions still need to be addressed before a customized colorectal cancer approach can be implemented. Prevention of diseases, the detection of them in their early stages, the analysis of the severity, and the treatment of any metastasized diseases are all paramount. Despite the increased utilization of genetic profiles in decision-making processes, such as the selection of therapy and predicting drug response, there are only a limited number of validated biomarkers for colorectal cancer that are suitable for clinical practice. To further research into colorectal carcinogenesis, pinpoint prospective indicators, and validate these indicators, creating non-intrusive, sensitive, and exact biomarkers is an urgent requirement. This procedure is reliant on translational proteomics. This investigation serves as a comprehensive resource on the current state of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers in diagnosing, predicting, and evaluating colorectal cancer. It underscores the transformative potential of these biomarkers in advancing CRC patient care, from early detection to personalized treatment strategies. However, it also underscores the need for ongoing research and validation to realize their clinical utility fully.
