According to the present invention, a cancer antigen protein to be specifically expressed on the surfaces of cancer cells is identified and thus the use of an antibody targeting the cancer antigen protein as an agent for treating and/or preventing a cancer is provided. Specifically, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for treating and/or preventing a cancer, which comprises an antibody or a fragment thereof as an active ingredient having immunological reactivity to a partial polypeptide of CAPRIN-1, which is represented by any of even-numbered sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 2 to 30, wherein the polypeptide has the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 37 or an amino acid sequence having 80% or more sequence identity with the amino acid sequence.
