What bone makes up most of the temple?
Actually, the skull is not a bone, it is many bones. The temporal bone would be the bone you feel when you touch your temple.

osteoblasts secrete matrix; bone deposition
Are most primary bone tumors sarcomas?
Most primary bone tumors are benign.Malignant primary bone tumors account for fewer than 1% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States.
What cancers were treated by polonium and radium?
Polonium is not used for the treatment of cancers. Radium is used to treat bone cancers.
Does bone cancer commonly start in the bone?
Actually, the opposite is true. Approximately 80% of bone cancers are secondary, such as metastasis from primary tumors in soft tissue. Only about 20% of bone cancers actually start in the bone and then metastasize to soft tissues and other locations.
What is the medical term meaning cancer of the bone?
Most cases of bone marrow cancer are a result of cancer cells entering the bone marrow from other cancers in the body, such as Breast cancer, prostate cancer, or lung cancer. The primary bone cancers are called osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Then there are other kinds of bone marrow cancers that are associated with a dysfunction in the development of blood cells that start out as pluripotent stem cells. These cncers include leukemia and lymphomas. A type of bone cancer that ocurrs in the red bone marrow is called multiple MYELOMA.

Is bone cancer a inherited cancer?
Cancers are not "inherited", though a genetic predisposition to them can be.
What is the medical term meaning decreased activity in bone marrow?
Myelosuppression is decreased activity in bone marrow.
What does the skeletal system deal with homeostasis?
Homeostasis is maintained by the hormones that increase osteoblast activity to build bone, called calcitonin which is released by the thyroid gland, and the release of parathyroid hormone which increases osteoclast activity and is released by the parathyroid glands. As long as both of these function normally, the bone mass stays the same, this is a homeostatic state of bone. If it goes out of balance you will either build too much bone, or loose bone mass and develop osteoporosis.
Does cadmium cause cancer of the spine?
While cadmium has been shown to cause several types of cancer, it has not been associated with bone cancers or spinal cancers.
What can be revealed by microscopic examination of bone marrow?
Microscopic examination of bone marrow can reveal leukemia, granulomas, myelofibrosis, myeloma, lymphoma, or metastatic cancers, bone marrow infection, and bone disease.
