In this thesis, new biomarkers for both early detection and risk estimation of colon cancer patients were investigated. Here, special attention was paid to the potential role of the nervous system in the intestine (the enteric nervous system) as a new player in colon cancer. To complement this, we looked at improving research assay design for new biomakers and created guidelines for the future.
