A personalised molecular approach
Cancer is not a single, uniform disease. Even tumours arising from the same organ can differ in their biological and molecular characteristics.
01
Personalised assessment
In the molecular therapy approach, the patient's current diagnosis, pathology results, PET/CT and other imaging, blood values and previous treatments are assessed together.
02
Molecular and genetic tests
Treatment planning considers not only the organ where the cancer is located, but also the stage of the disease, the sites of metastasis, the biological characteristics of the tumour and the patient's overall health. Where necessary, molecular and genetic tests can also be included in the assessment.
03
Molecular Therapy (IV)
In the molecular therapy approach, laboratory data and cellular needs are assessed to plan personalised support protocols.
04
Molecular Pharmacy
Supportive products can be personalised under the physician's supervision, according to the patient's laboratory values and current treatments.
Molecular therapy and other holistic approaches do not replace standard oncological treatment; they are planned as support for suitable patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about phytotherapy and molecular therapy
01Can a stage 4 cancer patient recover?
Stage 4 cancer means the disease has spread beyond where it started to distant organs or tissues. However, a stage 4 diagnosis alone does not determine how the disease will progress or which treatment will be applied. The type of cancer, the sites of metastases, the biological characteristics of the tumour, the patient's general condition and previous treatments are assessed together.
Ask this question on WhatsApp02What is phytotherapy?
Phytotherapy is a field covering the use of plants and plant-derived preparations for specific purposes. When phytotherapy is planned for cancer patients, the patient's medications, current treatments, organ function and overall health are given particular attention.
Ask this question on WhatsApp03What is molecular therapy and how is it planned?
Molecular therapy is a treatment approach planned individually by assessing the patient's diagnosis, current treatments, laboratory results and overall health together. The protocol to be applied is determined for each patient after a physician's assessment.
Ask this question on WhatsApp04Can phytotherapy be used alongside chemotherapy?
There is no single answer that applies to all patients. The decision is made individually, based on the chemotherapy agent used, the patient's blood values, liver and kidney function, and the herbal ingredients to be used.
Ask this question on WhatsApp05Does herbal treatment reduce the effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy?
Some herbal products can interact with chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapies, blood thinners and other prescription medicines. For this reason, which herbal ingredients are suitable is decided individually by the physician, based on the treatment being used, blood values, and liver and kidney function.
Ask this question on WhatsApp06Is phytotherapy a definitive cure for cancer?
No. These treatments do not replace standard medical treatment; following a physician's assessment, they are applied to support and complement the existing treatment plan. Treatments planned by medical oncology are always taken into account.
Ask this question on WhatsApp07How can phytotherapy support the cancer treatment process?
During cancer treatment, the complementary medicine (GETAT) approach may offer protocols aimed at cellular support, immune system management and improving quality of life, in addition to standard medical treatment. The plan is determined through a separate assessment for each patient.
Ask this question on WhatsApp08Are treatments planned individually?
Yes. Every patient's diagnosis, disease stage, test results, treatment history and overall health are different. For this reason, the approach is determined through a personalised assessment rather than a standard protocol.

No. Being “natural” does not automatically make a product safe. Some herbal products can interact with chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapies, blood thinners and other prescription medicines.
