Abstract:
The present invention provides novel markers for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, and methods for determining if a subject has pancreatic cancer utilizing the markers, etc. The methods involve comparing mass-spectrometric peaks of certain sugar chains, obtained from patients' blood and determining if there is a significant decrease in peak intensity, compared with corresponding peaks from patients without pancreatic cancer.
