Table 1 List of VOCS, from the analysis of samples prepared at pH 7, selected as important in discriminating PCa cell lines from normal cell lines (22RV1 vs PNT2, PC3 vs PNT2, DU145 vs PNT2 and LNCaP vs PNT2). VOCs are characterized by their IUPAC name. Values for p-values percentage of variation, effect size (ES), standard error (ESSE) and area under the curve (AUC) are represented for each VOC.
