A medical image processing apparatus has a parameter calculating unit, a storage unit, and an image generating unit. The parameter calculating unit analyzes data of a plurality of time-series medical images, each containing an image of an organ having a functional blood vessel and a feeding blood vessel, and calculates a parameter based on at least a blood volume in the feeding blood vessel. The storage unit stores in advance a table that associates parameters with degrees of a cancer progression of the organ. The image generating unit refers to the table, obtains a degree of the cancer progression corresponding to the calculated parameter, and generates an image to which the obtained degree is applied on a region-by-region basis.
