GC-MS metabolite bioprofiling facilitates prognostic evaluation of clinical outcomes based on survival and disease progression. a Box and whisker plot based on scores from OPLS-DA model of patient survival at pretreatment as a function of the eventual survival status: b Heat map showing clustering of metabolites with respect to patient survival (c, d) Progression: c as in a, with samples stratified by evidence of progression; d Heatmap showing progression-related metabolites; e Shared and unique structure (SUS) Plot, highlighting the strong relation between the two variables of disease progression and survival. The metabolites that line up along the diagonal running from the upper left corner to the lower right corner are common to both the disease progression and survival models
