    Larry,

    Thanks for the links to research about RT. I'll check it out.

    At this point, progression of my Dupuytren's stopped a year ago after I had RT by Dr. T at Scripps, so that lower dosage protocol was effective for me.

    Larry      		Lower or higher single doses when using RT ??

    Good news and results for you, flojo ! I think, the Germans also examined a lower dose of
    7 x 3Gy against the 10 x 3Gy schedule and as far as I understand the data, the 21Gy were
    quite similiar to the 30Gy with regard to treatment outcome ... The Link to the German Study

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11172962

    But that's something we should always consider: as the results need so much time to develop
    one should look for long-term experience and outcome ... and that was the reason, I decided,#
    to approach Prof. Seegenschmiedt and his group to benefit from their long-term knowledge !

    Wish the best for you and your treated hand (s), Larry !
