Primary cancers are denoted by "...cancer" (except for skin melanoma) and their main metastasis sites are denoted by "...metastases". List of included information The included cancer types are the ones causing most death as per data from the US in 2008.^[1] Lung cancer, mainly to adrenal glands, brain, and bone^[2] Breast cancer, mainly to bone, liver, lung and brain.^[3] Colon cancer, mainly to liver.^[4] Pancreatic cancer, mainly to liver and lungs.^[5] Melanoma, mainly to brain^[6] Ovarian cancer, mainly to pleural cavity and liver^[7] Not included information of major importance Prostate cancer (in males) usually metastasizes to the bones.^[8] References ↑ Jemal A, Siegel R, Ward E et al.

How to derive an image

Derive directly from raster image with organs

The raster (.png format) images below have most commonly used organs already included, and text and lines can be added in almost any graphics editor. This is the easiest method, but does not leave any room for customizing what organs are shown.

Adding text and lines:

Derive "from scratch"

By this method, body diagrams can be derived by pasting organs into one of the "plain" body images shown below. This method requires a graphics editor that can handle transparent images, in order to avoid white squares around the organs when pasting onto the body image. Pictures of organs are found on the project's main page. These were originally adapted to fit the male shadow/silhouette.

Derive by vector template

The Vector templates below can be used to derive images with, for example, Inkscape. This is the method with the greatest potential.

See Human body diagrams/Inkscape tutorial for a basic description in how to do this.
