Claim One:
1. A machine-executed method of generating a signal encoding the location of at-risk sites having an elevated risk of containing cancer cells in a patient having a primary tumor associated with a cancer, said method comprising: (a) receiving a signal encoding the location of said primary tumor; (b) generating a list of at-risk sites as a function of the location of the primary tumor; (c) receiving signals respectively encoding metastatis indications for each of a subset of said at-risk sites; (d) for each said at-risk site, computing an index of metastasis likelihood as a function of (1) the location of said primary tumor, and (2) the respective signal encoding a metastasis indicator for said at-risk site; and (e) displaying said indices of metastasis likelihood and the respective locations of the associated at-risk sites.
