    Michael Dattoli is an expert in radiation therapy, he has become one of America's leading physicians who successfully treat cancer with non-surgical approaches. Dattoli practices brachytherapy, the use of a sealed radiation source in a localized area.

     

     

    He first began to love pure sciences during his childhood in Poughkeepsie, New York. While studying marine biology at the University of California, Berkeley, he wanted to find a way to apply his interest in science to benefit humanity. He returned to Poughkeepsie, excelled at studying biochemistry at Vassar College, and obtained his medical doctorate from Mount Sinai School of Medicine (now the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) in 1984.

    During his medical training, Dattoli had a strong interest in finding non-surgical alternatives for cancer treatment. Aware of successes with some types of cancer, he focused his efforts on advancing treatment options for prostate cancer through brachytherapy. Dr. Richard Sorace recruited Dattoli from the Memorial Sloan Cancer Center more than 30 years ago, encouraging the young doctor to move to Tampa and co-found a brachytherapy practice.

    Dr. Dattoli and Sorace built a strong partnership that offered non-surgical options to treat prostate cancer. They later moved their practice to Sarasota and established the Dattoli Cancer Center. Dattoli maintains medical licenses in Florida, California, and New York, as well as board certification in Radiation Oncology through the American College of Radiology.
