Summary Ovarian cancer (OC) is a heterogeneous disease with the highest mortality rate and the poorest prognosis among gynecological malignancies. Because of the absence of specific early symptoms, most OC patients are often diagnosed at late stages. Thus, improved biomarkers of OC for use in research and clinical practice are urgently needed. The last decade has seen increasingly rapid advances in sequencing and biotechnological methodologies. Consequently, multiple omics technologies, including genomic/transcriptomic sequencings and proteomic/metabolomic mass spectra, have been widely applied to analyze tissue- and liquid-derived samples from OC patients. The integration of multi-omics data has increased our knowledge of the disease and identified valuable OC biomarkers. In this review, we summarize the recent advances and perspectives in the use of multi-omics technologies in OC research and highlight potential applications of multi-omics for identifying novel biomarkers and improving clinical assessments.
