About Dattoli:
Hello, I'm Michael Dattoli and welcome to Dattoli Cancer Center and Brachytherapy Research Institute. Over two decades ago I participated in numerous cancer operations throughout the body the last of which was removal of the prostate, also called radical prostatectomy. I found this procedure to particularly harsh on men often leaving them with unwanted complications and a reduced change of cure than they were initially led to believe. This experience inspired my personal quest to find a cure for prostate cancer with the least amount of side effects. This lead me down the path of radiation modalities including seed implantation, also know as Brachytherapy, as well as the most eloquent forms of external radiation. Today, this facility houses the most sophisticated radiation technologies in the world for the treatment of prostate cancer in a kinder, gentler, non-surgical way. To learn more, click here.

Hello, I'm Ginya Carnahan. Through the non-profit Dattoli Cancer Foundation we extend an outreach to the community at large. A telephone counseling service if available toll-free; Bi-annual free screenings are scheduled and an active speakers bureau if offered. Because of the wide varieties of year round activates offered here in Sarasota, more that one patient has described his experience here as the "radiation vacation". And, I'm Meg Brockett. Giving patients and their families an opportunity to learn more about their treatment and share their experience with other patients is an invaluable part of treatment at Dattoli Cancer Center. Attendees of our weekly meetings have made enduring friendships and describe their time here as the best bad experience they've ever had. We want the men undergoing treatment to have all their questions answered and to feel comfortable with the process. To this end, we provide them with an in-depth patient handbook, a large lending library, and weekly meetings highlighting various aspects of their treatment and overall health.
