The early detection of ovarian cancer is critical for improving the prognosis of patients, but there are currently insufficient tumor biomarkers for early detection owing to their low diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of the serum antigens C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1, and autoantibodies C1D, transmembrane 4 L six family member 1, zinc finger protein 675 and fragile X mental retardation 1 autosomal homolog 1, for the early screening of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The expression of these sex genes/proteins in ovarian cancer and normal ovarian tissue was examined, and the potential functions of the six genes/proteins in ovarian cancer were analyzed by bioinformatics. Finally, these data were verified in clinical samples, and the multi-analyte suspension array method was compared with the ELISA method. Taken together, these data indicated that these six genes/proteins may serve as potential biomarkers for the early detection of EOC.
