Today, the IOM liberally recommends an even higher volume of total daily water intake: 3.7 liters (15 cups) for the average adult male and 2.7 liters (11 cups) for the average adult female. If these numbers seem daunting, donât worry.
There are two types of tumors: malignant (ma-LIG-nant), or cancerous, tumors are made up of abnormally shaped cells that grow quickly, invade nearby healthy tissues, and often make their way into the bloodstream. When these cells travel to other parts of the body, they form additional tumors.
There are a fair number of benign tumors that can develop in different parts of the body. Benign tumors are classified by where they grow. Lipomas, for example, grow from fat cells, while myomas grow from muscle. Adenomas form in the thin layer of tissue that covers glands, organs, and other internal structures.
