The present invention relates to a non invasive diagnostic method of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in a subject said method comprising the step of measuring the level of βig-h3 protein in a blood sample wherein the serum level of βig-h3 is positively correlated with the risk of having a PDAC. By following studies on 2 distinct cohorts of 20 and 104 of PDAC patients, and on PDAC mouse model, the inventors show that βig-h3 can be directly detected in the blood sample and βig-h3 is expressed very early in tumorigenesis in pancreatic neoplastic lesions.
