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.
1 Some brain cancers occur when one type of cell transforms from its normal characteristics. 2  Once transformed, the cells grow and multiply in abnormal ways. 3  As these abnormal cells grow, they become a mass, or tumor. 4  The brain tumors that result are called primary brain tumors because they originate in the brain.etastatic brain tumors are made of cancerous cells from a tumor elsewhere in the body. The cells spread to the brain from another tumor in a process called metastasis. This is the most common type of brain tumor.
