METHOD FOR DETECTING PANCREATIC CANCER

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for detecting pancreatic cancer that utilizes a novel tumor marker. More specifically, the present invention provides the following: a method for detecting pancreatic cancer that includes assaying for the existence or the quantity of a reactive polypeptide that binds with an antibody against the CAPRIN-1 protein through an antigen-antibody reaction in a sample isolated from a test subject; a reagent for detecting pancreatic cancer including an antibody against the CAPRIN-1 protein or a fragment thereof, and a polynucleotide that codes for such an antibody; and a kit.
