Hi Katie,

unfortunately we don't know of any hospital in Stockholm offering radiotherapy. But recently I was in contact with Dr. Joerg Witthaut who is currently working at the University of Uppsala. He is a hand surgeon not a radiotherapist but he is very familiar with Dupuytren's and currently involved in the Xiaflex phase 3 trial in Sweden. Maybe he can point you to a colleague in Stockholm. You can send an e-mail to him using info at handbegutachtung.de (you need to replace the at with @ and remove the blanks to get the correct e-mail address). You might mention that you were referred to him by Dupuytren Society.

Good luck!

Wolfgang

I have just been diagnosed with Dupuytren's but the doctor had never heard of using radiation in the early stages. I would like to attack it now while I am in the early stages. Does anyone know of any medical practitioner here in Stockholm who deals with this disease?

When YOU are in Sweden, You should also explore
a one-day-Flight-trip to Dusseldorf; very close to the
City is the Alfried-Krupp-Krankenhaus with a very
well known radiation therapist, who has treated several
hundreds of patients in early stage M.Dupuytren very
successfully. I had very good expereince with his clinic

As far as I recall the Telephone number of the hospital is.
+49.201.434-1 or 434-0 Just ask for "strahlentherapie"
