Infants need about 100 mL of water/kg body weight per day, so a 5 kg infant needs about 500 mL and a 10 kg infant needs about 1 liter (3) . Healthy breastfed infants can get all the water they need with the motherâs milkâ assuming their mothers produces enough milk, which all healthy mothers should.
Tumor markers are measurable biochemicals that are associated with a malignancy. They are either produced by tumor cells (tumor-derived) or by the body in response to tumor cells (tumor-associated). They are typically substances that are released into the circulation and thus measured in the blood.
Most tumor markers are made by normal cells as well as by cancer cells; however, they are produced at much higher levels in cancerous conditions. These substances can be found in the blood, urine, stool, tumor tissue, or other tissues or bodily fluids of some patients with cancer.
