butanoic acid, propanoic acid, glycerol, pyrimidine, butanedioic<br />
acid, malic acid, citric acid, hexadecanoic acid<br />
<strong>and</strong> uric acid). The PCA scores plot showed that the normal<br />
group <strong>and</strong> cancer group (non-metastasis group <strong>and</strong><br />
metastasis group) samples were scattered into different<br />
regions (Figure 4A). ROC analysis, which was performed<br />
using the values determined by the first two components<br />
<strong>of</strong> the PCA model, confirmed the robustness <strong>of</strong> the PCA<br />
model. These first two components could present the ma-<br />
