Metabolomics of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tissues: Potential Biomarkers for Diagnosis and Promising Targets for Therapy

Figure 5

Volcano diagram of the difference between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and adjacent noncancerous tissue. (a) volcano plot of differential metabolites between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and adjacent noncancerous tissue; (b) volcano plot of representative differential metabolites in cationic mode; (c) volcano plot of representative differential metabolites in anion mode. Note: log2FC is the fold change value of the difference in the expression of metabolites between the two groups; -log10 ( value) is the statistics of the difference in the expression of metabolites.
