Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of diagnostic methods. Specifically, the present invention contemplates a method for diagnosing pancreas cancer in a subject and, preferably for differentiating between pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis and a method for identifying whether a subject is in need for a therapy of pancreatic cancer. The invention also relates to tools for carrying out the aforementioned methods, such as diagnostic devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing pancreatic cancer in a subject comprising the steps of: (a) determining in at least one sample of said subject the amounts of a group of diagnostic biomarkers comprising (i) at least one diagnostic amino acid, said diagnostic amino acid being proline, histidine or tryptophan, preferably, being proline; (ii) at least one diagnostic ceramide, said diagnostic ceramide being ceramide (d18:1,C24:0) or ceramide (d18:2,C24:0), preferably being ceramide (d18:1,C24:0); (iii) at least one diagnostic sphingomyelin, said diagnostic sphingomyelin being sphingomyelin (35:1), sphingomyelin (d17:1,C16:0), sphingomyelin (41:2) or sphingomyelin (d18:2,C17:0), preferably being sphingomyelin (35:1); and (iv) CA19-9; and (b) comparing said amounts of the diagnostic biomarkers with a reference, whereby pancreatic cancer is diagnosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to particular oligonucleotides, pharmaceutical agents that contain these oligonucleotides, and to the therapeutic use thereof. The oligonucleotides are, in particular, capable of inhibiting the proliferation of pancreatic tumors. These oligonucleotides thus have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of pancreatic tumors. This can involve, in the broadest sense, an antisense therapy.
