Metastatic fate for 2-cell (top) and 8-cell (bottom) starting metastases followed identical trends with the majority of metastases dying out. The metastatic fate is coded with black designating the metastases that remained dormant, grey the ones that died out, and patterned those that grew out. X-axis represents survival probability from 30 to 70 percent with vertical bars representing incremental probability rate changes. Shown are stochastic models; the fixed survival percentages exhibited similar fates (data not shown).
