Fig. 3: Dynamics of the cancer-effector model without treatment.

a Example C and E time traces for two initial conditions (black circles) that result in tumour escape. b Example C and E time traces for two initial conditions (black circles) that result in immune-mediated tumour control. c The four initial conditions (black circles) and subsequent trajectories visualised in the C-E phase plane, demonstrating representative dynamics in the two basins of attraction (red: tumour escape; green: immune-mediated tumour control).
