A method for assisting in detecting the presence of pancreatic cancer expressing 36P6D5 protein of SEQ ID NO: 2 and a kit for detecting the presence of pancreatic cancer in an individual. The protein expression level of 36P6D5 protein shown in a test biological sample selected from the group consisting of pancreatic tissue, serum, blood and urine derived from an individual is expressed specifically for the sample or a part thereof. The step of determining by contacting with an antibody that binds, and the protein expression level determined in this manner, in a corresponding normal biological sample selected from the group consisting of pancreatic tissue, serum, blood and urine. The presence of 36P6D5 protein in the test sample increased relative to the normal sample, indicating the presence of pancreatic cancer in the individual. [Selection figure] None |
