I'm really curious if there's a single test that can detect all types of cancer in the body. It would be amazing if something like that exists, but is it possible? How reliable would it be, and could it miss any forms of cancer?

NO

I'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?

Treatment for necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis typically involves a course of antibiotics such as **Augmentin (AmoxicillinClavulanic Acid). In cases where the infection is severe or not responding to antibiotics, a short course of **Prednisone** may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Sure. But majority are still investigational still. Newer drugs are also available. The cost is prohibitively very high. You must see a medical oncologist and discuss the options and costs.
