The University of Virginia is committed to the highest quality of interdisciplinary care of patients with the diagnosis of breast cancer.To that end, we have formed a multidisciplinary specialty service that evaluates and cares for women with breast cancer utilizing the combined input of specialists from seven disciplines: surgery, medical oncology, radiation therapy, radiology, plastic surgery, endocrinology, and pathology. We believe that we can, through rigorous application of the current fund of knowledge regarding breast cancer treatment, optimize the outcome for our patients, and provide them with the best possible care in a caring and responsive environment. If you have a new diagnosis of breast cancer, or are a referring physician with a patient with a new diagnosis of breast cancer, please call 434-924-1555 for an immediate appointment. We understand that a new diagnosis of breast cancer raises many questions and concerns, and that a timely appointment with a breast surgeon can help alleviate some of the anxiety that a new diagnosis brings. We are committed to offering appointments as soon as possible realizing that medical records, breast imaging films, and pathology slides/reports are essential for the initial consult visit. |
