Question 1

A preprint study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, found that a four-metabolite panel could distinguish between individuals with and without eight types of cancer using an unsupervised machine learning model with an AUC of 0.925. The authors state that these findings from a case-control study are exploratory and likely optimistic.
