Abstract
A method of diagnosing pancreatic cancer in a patient by detecting a level of one or more glycoforms of a Lewis antigen and a level of the one or more glycoforms of MUC5AC. The patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer then may be treated for this disease. Also, a method for detecting a level of a glycan in a sample which includes using a capture reagent to immobilize the glycan on a substrate; exposing the immobilized glycan to a detection reagent; detecting the level of the immobilized glycan; and combining the biological sample with one or more pre-capture enzymes and/or exposing the immobilized glycan to one or more pre-detection enzymes.
