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.
Some tumor markers are specific for a particular type of cancer, while others are seen in several different types of cancer. Not every person with a particular type of cancer will have an elevated level of the corresponding tumor marker. Not every cancer has a tumor marker that has been identified as associated with it.
