Provided herein are methods for determining the risk that a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer will develop a recurrence of colorectal cancer and methods of predicting clinical outcome for a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer by a) determining the level of expression for each marker of a panel of markers in a panel of tumor compartments in a tumor tissue sample from the subject, wherein the panel of markers comprises at least two of TEM1, HIF2α, CAIX, PDGFRβ, fibronectin, collagen I, collagen IV, and CD31 and wherein the panel of tumor compartments comprises at least three tumor compartments of pure stroma, tumor, stromal vessel, and tumor vessel; b) determining the TAPPS score for said subject; and c) comparing the TAPPS score of the subject to the TAPPS score of a population of subjects diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Also provided are related computer-implemented methods and systems, kits, and tumor microarrays.
