title: [Immunohistochemical markers in colorectal cancer].
abstract: In colorectal cancer, immunohistochemical staining can routinely be used for tumour classification, screening for defective DNA mismatch repair and possibly identification of markers relevant to prediction of outcome of chemotherapy. This article provides a brief description of these applications.
