Provided herein are methods of detecting pancreatic cancer in a subject, the method comprising measuring in a sample from the subject a level of CA19-9 polysaccharide relative to a reference, and a level of a polynucleotide or polypeptide of at least one marker selected from the group consisting of: OPN, MIA, CEACAM-1, MIC-I, SPONI, HSP27, POSTN, and LGALS3BP relative to a reference, wherein an increased level of the CA19-9 polysaccharide relative to a reference and an increased level of the polynucleotide or polypeptide relative to a reference indicates presence of pancreatic cancer in the subject.
