Colon cancer is one of the most frequent cancers. In this thesis, human primary tumour tissues were analysed by MALDI Imaging, label-free quantitative proteomics, and immunohistochemical tissue staining. The clinical aspects of regional lymph node metastasis, tumour recurrence and correct classification of primary tumours were of central interest. Novel proteomic markers for regional lymph node metastasis and tumour recurrence were identified. Additionally, primary tumours could be classified with high accuracy. These results could support new, personalised approaches in diagnostics and therapy.
