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?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've had a pea-sized lump in my left armpit for about 6 weeks now. It's not painful or anything, but it hasn't gone away on its own. Could this be some kind of infection or something else? What should I do?
While many lumps under the armpit are harmless and related to lymph nodes or benign growths like cysts or lipomas, it's always best to get it checked by a doctor, especially if it's persistent. Your doctor will be able to provide a diagnosis based on your medical history, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests.

Which is the better option for treating cancer surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation? I'm really confused about the best approach and worried about side effects or effectiveness. Can you explain the pros and cons of each?
Location of the Cancer: If the cancer is localized (in one area), radiation therapy may be preferred because it targets specific spots. However, if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (systemic cancer), chemotherapy is typically more effective.
