Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and shows heterogenous molecular subtypes making personalized medicine as well as identifying new targets highly important to provide individual patients with the most appropriate treatment. To gain more insight into the visualization of potential molecules or pathways for targeting CRC we used a multi-omics approach for the simultaneous analysis of gene and protein expression within a sample. In this study we combined fluorescent multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) for the detection of proteins (3-plex panel & DAPI) with the Visium Spatial Transcriptomics technology (10x Genomics) that enables the detection of the whole transcriptome in the histological context.
