General Info

hile we create a unique treatment plan for each patient, there is a general protocol that we follow and adapt to each man’s needs. For patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (and not a recurrence following some other treatment), the protocol is in three parts. The first is several weeks of daily treatment called DART (Dynamic Adaptive RadioTherapy). These treatments are short – from check-in to check-out it is rarely more than 20 minutes. The treatment itself is similar to an X-ray and patients do not feel anything. In fact, they often enjoy playing golf, tennis, fishing or walking the beach before or after their daily treatment. At the conclusion of the daily DART treatments, a plan for brachytherapy (seed implant) is made. The seed implant procedure is done on an outpatient basis, but requires an over-night stay for observation. A waiting period of 2 to 8 weeks is required between the daily radiation treatment and the seeding appointment. Approximately 90 days following the seeding we will begin the 3rd part – follow-up DART radiation to the lymph nodes in the pelvis and abdomen. There are may be 3-10 of these daily treatments prescribed to complete the treatment plan. This protocol has been perfected by doctors Dattoli and Sorace over a 20 year period, and hasimage2 produced the longest and best published cure rate in all the medical literature. With our current combination protocol, patients having low risk disease enjoy a greater than 95% disease-free status, thanks to our advanced DART technology. We are now seeing even those patients having intermediate to high-risk disease achieving an approximate 90% cure rate with remarkably few, temporary side effects. Having treated patients with lymph node cancer and even bone metastases successfully, we are moving up the ladder in terms of the stage of the disease that can be conquered. Our results have improved each year with refinements in technique and technology. As of 2010, our published data on patients with higher risk disease reported an 82% biochemical success rate with a follow up of 16 years. It is important to note that those patients were treated between 1992 and 1997 with combination of Palladium-103 brachytherapy and 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy, which during that decade was the most sophisticated form of external radiation therapy available. We have come a long way since that time with our current state of the art DART capabilities and constantly improving results.
