The present invention aims at providing a method of assisting the detection of pancreatic cancer with high accuracy. The present invention provides a method of assisting the detection of pancreatic cancer, which includes using as an index the abundance of at least one of miRNAs, isoform miRNAs (isomiRs), precursor miRNAs, transfer RNA fragments (tRFs), or non-coding RNA fragments (MiscRNAs) contained in a test sample isolated from a living body, whose nucleotide sequence is represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 4, 6 to 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 to 21, 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, and 22 to 38, wherein a higher abundance of at least one of the miRNAs, isomiRs, precursor miRNAs, or transfer RNA fragments whose nucleotide sequence is represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 20 than that of healthy subjects or a lower abundance of at least one of the miRNAs, isomiRs, precursor miRNAs, or non-coding RNA fragments (MiscRNAs) whose nucleotide sequence is represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 21 to 38 than that of healthy subjects indicates a higher likelihood of having pancreatic cancer.
