Abstract
Diagnostic testing involves of specific disease tests and procedures to confirm the presence of disease and identify the correct tumour type, location, extent and stage. Our Herbal centre diagnostic team includes physicians across many medical specialties, including radiologists, pathologists and geneticists. However treatment is herbal base which is so effective and newly immerging in Ghana. A thorough and accurate cancer diagnosis is the eventually important first step in developing & Improving an individualized cancer treatment plan. A diagnostic plan test varies as follows: A preview of health history, Physical examination, Laboratory tests (blood, urine, etc.), Biopsy, Imaging tests (X-ray, PET/CT, MRI, ultrasound, etc.), Nuclear medicine scans (bone scans, etc.), Endoscopy and Genetic tests. Before treatment, we will accurately identified & locate tumours, stage the disease, and determine an appropriate combination of cancer treatments for you. Tumour molecular profiling helps us identify the right chemotherapy or targeted therapy Endoscopic ultrasound allows us to find and reach very small tumours without the risks of surgery. Genomic testing: BIKBOK Herbal Centre offers expanded genomic tumour assessment. This tool reveals the DNA alterations that are driving the growth of a cancer. All odontogenic neoplasm, neoplasm-like lesions (tumours), and true cysts of the oral tissues and jaws were listed. Of a total of 445 (1.11%) odontogenic tumours, 392 (0.98%) were lesions from patients in the usual local drawing area of the biopsy service; 53 were referred from distant centres. From the local population, odontomas were by far the most common tumour (51.53%) followed by ameloblastomas (13.52%) and peripheral odontogenic fibromas (8.93%). Locally, radicular (periapical) cysts were the most common odontogenic cyst (65.15%) followed by the dentigerous cyst (24.08%) and the odontogenic keratocyst (4.88%). The most common nonodontogenic cyst was the nasopalatine duct cyst that accounted for 73.43% of this subset of cysts. Surprisingly few studies of this type are available, especially for odontogenic tumours. The given data are not only Ghanaians but some visit our herbal centre from other west African countries in spite of the other centres having testing devices but our unique herbal treatment makes the difference.
