Our Unique State of the Art Facility

At the Dattoli Cancer Center & Brachytherapy Research Institute, our “uniqueness” refers to the combination of leading edge technologies that are housed under one roof at the Center and the high level of success attained from our treatment methods.

The Dattoli Cancer Center houses the world’s most sophisticated linear accelerators. Constantly upgraded, these treatment machines coupled with numerous 4D Image-Guided technologies (“Exact Couch/Table”, 3rd generation SonArray, 3rd generation on-board imaging, 3rd and 4th dimensional bone-to-bone matching, 3rd generation Cone Beam Tomography, Respiratory Gating, Portal Vision (MV), Portal Imaging using amorphous silicone electrode technologies) allow for the most highly focused and dynamically controlled radiation available anywhere in the world. The on-site 3 Dimensional Color-Flow Doppler Ultrasound with elastography and integrated fusion-ready Light Speed Helical CT Scanners are mainstays of the advanced diagnostic tools used at this Center.

The integration of these technologies makes Dynamic Adaptive RadioTherapy (DART) possible. DART is the technique that allows our physicians to maximize the radiation dose to the tumor while minimizing the dose to surrounding normal tissue (thereby minimizing side effects). This is accomplished by targeting thousands of predetermined voxels (cubic millimeters) with thousands of microbeams. This high-precision approach to curing cancer has been the dream of radiation therapy dating back more than four decades. The equipment is continually updated from first generation models to more refined succeeding generations enhanced by further innovations.

Our Center

At our center, a custom-designed information system gathers data from diagnostic procedures and physician input to be transferred into the Varian treatment planning computers. Certified medical dosimetrists and physicists create and validate individually designed treatment plans for each patient. Upon review by the physician, the treatment plan is loaded into the sophisticated program that controls the powerful linear accelerators.

This collection of leading edge technology at our facility, the focus of our highly skilled professional staff, and the documented results of our work make the Dattoli Cancer Center unique in many ways.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT US

"With a rising PSA and Gleason 6, I chose to put my care in the hands of the Dattoli team, undergoing IMRT and brachytherapy. Two years down the road and 74 seeds later I'm back in the pilot’s seat and flying the newest birds in the fleet – the Boeing 777s. It is important – it’s imperative - to look at every option and get yourself to the very best treatment center you can find.”

“My aggressive treatment at the Dattoli Center has given me a new appreciation for life. I suffer no ill effects from the combination treatment, but I admit that I am a “changed man.” I'm a vocal advocate for prostate cancer education and screening, especially in the African-American community. Now, I rarely miss an opportunity to race a sailboat. It is a feeling of “euphoria,” one that I savor as often as possible.”

In the winter of 2019, 64-year-old Kim F. was treated for breast cancer at the Dattoli Cancer Center. “I received a real education about my tumor and how radiation works. I admit that I felt a little out of place being surrounded by so many men being treated, but I can’t imagine getting better care than this.” Kim learned that the Dattoli Cancer Center is the only center in the country offering a radiation guidance system that can aim pinpoint radiation to the tumor while sparing the nearby heart and lungs. This is especially important when treating cancer in the left breast in such close proximity to the heart.

“Half-way around the world is not too far to travel to get the best care. Five years later, I'm like new – no evidence of prostate cancer at all. With my children on their own and more time on my hands, I've completed a 750-mile pilgrimage in 2004 and am back climbing mountains. The view from the top is awesome!"

"My seeds were implanted in early 2000. Today I am happy, healthy and a grateful man. My PSA is barely detectable at 0.094, and I embrace life full-steam ahead with Bernice by my side."
