Prof. M.D. Gül Başaran Reviews

At 22, my rare desmoid tumor diagnosis felt like a life sentence. Dr. Başaran didn't just see a sarcoma; she saw a young violinist. Her targeted therapy plan preserved the nerves in my left hand while shrinking the tumor. Today, I'm playing professionally again—her approach treated the musician, not just the disease.

As an 81-year-old retired botanist with metastatic prostate cancer, I expected palliative care only. Dr. Başaran discovered my cancer had unique biomarkers and designed a gentle immunotherapy regimen. Two years later, I'm cultivating my heirloom rose garden and have seen three great-grandchildren born.

Our 7-year-old daughter's recurrent neuroblastoma had exhausted standard protocols. Dr. Başaran coordinated with pediatric specialists internationally to create a novel CAR-T cell therapy bridge. She explained every step to our child using her stuffed animal 'patients.' Our daughter is now cancer-free and wants to become 'a doctor like Dr. Gül.'

Diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer while pregnant, we faced impossible choices. Dr. Başaran assembled a team including maternal-fetal medicine specialists. She timed chemotherapy precisely between trimesters, monitored both me and the baby relentlessly, and delivered our healthy son via planned C-section before my curative surgery. We have our family because of her dual vigilance.
