Just to advise I recently completed radiation treatment for Dupytrens in one hand. I attended Prof. Frank Sullivan, at the Galway Clinic, in Ireland.

Prof. Sullivan is a consultant radiation oncologist, and Director of the Radiation Unit at University Hospital Galway (UHG). He had admission rights at both the Galway Clinic and UHG.

Prof. Sullivan is an excellent doctor. He is very caring and considerate. He has a real interest in the Dupuytrens and Ledderhose conditions. To date he has treated very few patients with these conditions but he is interested in developing this treatment. He uses electronic beam radiation technology. I found the staff at the Radiotherapy Unit to be absolutely excellent. My treatment followed the protocol as published by Prof. Seegenschmiedt (2 sessions of 5x3Gy each, separated by 12 weeks).

Prof. Sullivan’s contact details are listed on this website http://www.dupuytren-online.info/radiotherapy_clinics.html and I thank Cellicman for originally posting this information and recommending Prof. Sullivan.

Hi Lanod

Thanks for the post.

That sounds good, particularly if the doctor is from an acedemic background as the documentation is likely to be good.

Do you mind disclosing the costs for the treatment?

Also what was the size of the area treated?
