The Dattoli Cancer Center was founded in 2001 by Michael Dattoli, MD and Richard Sorace, MD, PhD 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.
