High mortality of ovarian cancer (OC) is primarily attributed to the lack of effective early detection methods. Uterine fluid, pooling molecules from neighboring ovaries, presents an organ-specific advantage over conventional blood samples. Here, we present a protocol for identifying metabolite biomarkers in uterine fluid for early OC detection. We describe steps for uterine fluid collection from patients, metabolite extraction, metabolomics experiments, and candidate metabolite biomarker screening. This standardized workflow holds the potential to achieve early OC diagnosis in clinical practice.
