Abstract: Colorectal cancer,a common malignant tumor,is a serious threat to human health.Metabolomics can effectively solve the shortcomings of the traditional ways of inspection.Metabolomics develop different metabolites to find new specific tumor markers by detecting metabolites in tissues,blood and urine of cancer patients.Compared with normal cells,tumor cells exist a number of abnormal metabolic pathways.It lays the foundation for further study of biomarkers of colorectal cancer by finding out its metabolic changes.It also shows important significance for diagnosis,evaluation of efficacy and prognosis and individual treatment.

Key words: Colorectal cancer, Diagnosis, Metabolomics, miRNA
