Psyc. Buse Mamur

As parents of a 16-year-old competitive swimmer diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his shoulder, we faced the terrifying prospect of amputation ending his athletic dreams. Dr. Mamur pioneered a novel limb-salvage protocol combining targeted immunotherapy with precision radiation, allowing complex surgery that preserved full nerve function. Our son not only kept his arm but returned to the water nine months later, now training for adaptive sports championships.

Our 3-year-old daughter was airlifted from Cyprus with a rare hepatoblastoma that five hospitals called inoperable. Dr. Mamur's team performed a groundbreaking two-stage liver resection using 3D-printed surgical guides, avoiding transplant entirely. She celebrated her fourth birthday cancer-free, and Dr. Mamur still video-calls monthly to check her developmental milestones, becoming like family across the Mediterranean.

A university student studying abroad in Istanbul collapsed with acute myeloid leukemia. With no family nearby, Dr. Mamur became medical guardian, coordinating care in four languages between our home country and Turkey. Her personalized CAR-T cell therapy protocol achieved remission when standard treatments failed. She graduated on time and now volunteers as a translator for Dr. Mamur's international patients.

Our 8-year-old son with Down syndrome developed a rare myelodysplastic syndrome that most oncologists dismissed as untreatable. Dr. Mamur designed a low-intensity chemotherapy regimen tailored to his genetic profile and cognitive needs, using play therapy to administer treatments. Two years later, his blood counts remain normal, and he proudly shows everyone his 'superhero medicine badge' from Dr. Mamur.

When our teenage son's Ewing sarcoma relapsed in his pelvis during COVID lockdowns, Dr. Mamur organized a home-hospital hybrid care model. Nurses trained us to administer targeted therapies while drone deliveries brought medications. Virtual reality sessions distracted during painful procedures. This innovative approach achieved second remission without a single hospital admission during the pandemic peak.
