DART is an educational, advocacy and support group for Dupuytren's disease and Ledderhose disease.

It is your responsibility to discuss your treatment options and preferences.
Contact information is provided below for radiation oncologists who have previously treated for DD/LD. Our listing is provided as a place for you to begin your own research. It is compiled primarily from referrals by DART members. No representation is made about the quality or competency of the listed doctors. We recommend you use the search function on DART (a Facebook group) to locate prior group discussions on ROs you are considering.
If you find a doctor's contact info outdated, please comment where our records can be updated. Most of these doctors are affiliated with multiple clinics and/or hospitals and may practice at secondary locations closer to you than the city listed below. Check the website or call their office. Additionally, some of these doctors are on the faculty of local medical schools and also teach and/or administer radiation oncology.
DART members have provided names of some doctors practicing through nationalized health services, in countries where such services are offered. These names are initially included on this list. However, such listings cannot be verified since physician's names are not customarily listed on the service websites. In some cases, the link to a clinic or service may be provided instead of an individual name.

List of Radiation Oncologists - Google Drive
A radiation oncologist has specialized training in performing radiation treatment for people with cancer and those with certain noncancerous (benign) conditions, like Duputyren's Contracture and Ledderhose Disease.
What if the list doesn't include a radiation oncologist in your area? Here are some ideas on How to find an RO near you.
Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is a non-surgical treatment that can stop or slow down Dupuytren's Contracture in its early stage. In radiation therapy, the nodules and cords associated with Dupuytren's are irradiated. This is typically done over five days in a row applying an efficient dose . After a break of 10-12 weeks, this treatment is repeated. Typically this softens the nodules (and sometimes also cords) and prevents contraction of the hand.
