Breast Center
Reston Breast Care Specialists exists with the sole purpose of providing advanced diagnostic and surgical care for women facing breast disease. Drs. Virginia Chiantella, Zuleika Diaz Negron and Jane Hanscom are surgeons specializing in the treatment of breast disease and cancer.
At Reston Breast Care Specialists, we understand that the idea of facing breast cancer and undergoing breast surgery is upsetting. Drs. Chiantella, Diaz Negron and Hanscom do their absolute best to ensure that each patient has a firm understanding of what she is facing, and her surgical options. By no means does undergoing breast surgery mean that a woman will lose her breast. Many women are candidates for breast preserving surgery (such as lumpectomy), and even in cases where mastectomy is necessary, breast reconstruction is an option for almost all women.
In addition to seeing Dr. Chiantella, Diaz Negron or Hanscom, each patient will be referred to Reston Hospital Center's women's oncology nurse navigator, Laurie Rudolph, RN, OCN. Laurie will help women through the entire process of facing breast cancer, from surgery to medical and radiation treatment, and on to survivorship. Dr. Hanscom and Dr. Diaz Negron are proud to be a part of the Reston Hospital Breast Center, a multidisciplinary program which includes stereotactic radiosurgery, mammoSite radiation therapy, medical oncology, outpatient infusion, and advanced imaging at the Women's Imaging Center.
