Tumor spread from the primary site (right abdominal mammary gland) to any of 3 distant gland sites (the left abdominal gland, the right thoracic and cervical glands, and the left thoracic and cervical glands) was determined at necropsy. Tabulated data are the percentage of animals that had tumors at 0, 1, 2, or all 3 of the distant sites.
