I was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and have four lumps one was removed (5.3 cm) but the others are smaller. Can they be treated with medication or will I need surgery for those too? I've attached my biopsy report for reference.

Small fibroadenomas are often monitored; surgery is only needed if they grow, cause symptoms, or raise diagnostic concerns.

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?
