Founders, ownership basis and business economics

Dattoli Cancer Center was founded in 2001 by Michael Dattoli, MD, and Richard Sorace, MD, Ph.D. who had been in practice together in Tampa for nearly a decade. It was their dream to create a true state-of-the-art cancer center specifically for the non-surgical treatment of prostate cancer. In leaving Tampa, they put their heads and hearts on the line to make this dream a reality. This Center would encompass all the latest technology for diagnosing prostate cancer and for treating it non-surgically and would become an incubator for research and technical design. The breadth of experience and the unmatched proficiency of these two radiation oncologists at work in this progressive environment fueled the Center’s rapid acceptance and widespread reputation. Today the flow of patients to the Dattoli Cancer Center from all over the globe is a testament to the hard work and forward-thinking of Drs. Dattoli and Sorace since the founding of this remarkable Center.
