•Diagnostic performance of 20 blood-based cancer-related 20 biomarkers was evaluated using the data from 203 healthy subjects and 102 patients with colon cancer.

•Cancer patients were characterized by multiple abnormalities in biomarker levels; diagnostic performance, evaluated via ROC analysis, varied across considered biomarkers (0.52<ROC AUC<0.90)

•Combinatorial biomarkers, exploiting several classification algorithms to predict patient status based on levels of multiple biomarkers  and patient’s characteristics, were developed

• Combinatorial biomarkers demonstrated higher diagnostic performance over single-protein biomarkers
