Fig. 1. Graphs of counts made for orthogonal projections to latent structures in the positive ion mode (А) and in the negative ion mode (B). The samples obtained from patients with regional metastases are marked with red dots, and the samples obtained from patients with no metastasis are marked with blue dots
