Tumor-associated glycans Le<sup>a/c/x</sup>, sdi-Le<sup>a</sup>, sLe<sup>a</sup>, sLe<sup>x</sup>, sTn as well as mucin-1 (MUC1) and mucin-5AC (MU5AC) have gained significant interest as targets for PDAC imaging. To evaluate their PDAC molecular imaging potential, biomarker expression was determined using immunohistochemistry on PDAC, (surrounding) chronic pancreatitis (CP), healthy pancreatic, duodenum, positive (LN<sup>+</sup>) and negative lymph node (LN<sup>−</sup>) tissues, and quantified using a semi-automated digital image analysis workflow.

Targeted molecular imaging may overcome current challenges in the preoperative and intraoperative delineation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Tumor-associated glycans Le<sup>a/c/x</sup>, sdi-Le<sup>a</sup>, sLe<sup>a</sup>, sLe<sup>x</sup>, sTn as well as mucin-1 (MUC1) and mucin-5AC (MU5AC) have gained significant interest as targets for PDAC imaging. To evaluate their PDAC molecular imaging potential, biomarker expression was determined using immunohistochemistry on PDAC, (surrounding) chronic pancreatitis (CP), healthy pancreatic, duodenum, positive (LN<sup>+</sup>) and negative lymph node (LN<sup>−</sup>) tissues, and quantified using a semi-automated digital image analysis workflow.
