Cancer is a huge challenge for humanity and the international medical community. It is of great importance that medical research for cancer decoding and treatment is dynamically developing and significantly effective. This project is a review of international scientific literature concerning documented applications of medical genetics and biomarkers in diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of colon cancer. There is special reference to pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics, fields especially interesting for oncology incidents individualized therapy. Finally, there is reference to economic analysis methods and tools for the evaluation of those new applications in clinical practice, as it is very important to achieve resources saving and medical effectiveness increase in the same time. Medical genetics will definitely constitute a field highly important for the future of medicine, but it is not clear yet which applications of those currently existing will be used.
