The present invention relates to cancer markers. In particular, the present invention provides metabolites that are differentially present in prostate cancer. 120-. (canceled)21. A method of diagnosing cancer , comprising: a) detecting the presence or level of one or more cancer specific metabolites selected from the group consisting of sarcosine , glutamate , glycine , cysteine , asparagine , leucine , proline , threonine , histidine , n-acetyl-aspartic acid , inosine , inositol , adenosine , taurine , creatine , uric acid , glutathione , uracil , kynurenine , glycerol-s-phosphate , glycocholic acid , suberic acid , xanthosine , 4-acetamidobutyric acid , and thymine in a sample from a subject; and b) diagnosing cancer based on the presence or level of said cancer specific metabolite.22. The method of claim 21 , wherein said cancer is prostate cancer.23. The method of claim 21 , wherein said cancer specific metabolite is present or elevated in cancerous samples but not non-cancerous samples.24. The method of claim 21 , wherein said sample is selected from the group consisting of a tissue sample claim 21 , a blood sample claim 21 , a serum sample claim 21 , and a urine sample.25. The method of claim 24 , wherein said tissue sample is a biopsy sample.26. The method of claim 21 , wherein the sample is analyzed using one or more techniques selected from the group consisting of gas chromatography claim 21 , liquid chromatography claim 21 , mass spectrometry claim 21 , ELISA claim 21 , and antibody linkage.27. The method of claim 21 , wherein said cancer specific metabolite further comprises one or more cancer specific metabolites selected from the group consisting of citrate claim 21 , malate and N-acetyl tyrosine.28. The method of claim 21 , wherein said one or more cancer specific metabolites is two or more markers.29. The method of claim 21 , wherein said one or cancer specific metabolites is three or more markers.30. The method of claim 21 , wherein said one or more ...
