Abstract: A group of molecular biomarkers having the genes SLC35D3, POSTN, KLK6 and MUC2 can be used in objective and quantitative methods for the classification, prediction of prognosis and for guiding treatment decisions of a subject with colorectal cancer. More specifically, a method for determining the metastatic potential and/or tumor aggressiveness of a colorectal cancer in a subject can include determining the gene expression levels of genes SLC35D3, POSTN, KLK6 and/or MUC2 in a regional lymph node, a primary intestinal tumor, blood, or feces sample obtained from the subject.
