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.
Elevated tumor marker levels after surgery may be an indication that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Tumor marker tests are likely to be a part of a testicular cancer patient's ongoing cancer care. They can be helpful in monitoring the person's response to treatment as well as detecting the recurrence of testicular cancer.
