Breast cancer patients often receive systemic drugs as the initial curative treatment of their disease. The initial systemic therapy leads to a variable degree of tumor shrinkage.

This trial will help determine the optimal extent of resection in tumors that exhibits a significant change in volume after primary systemic therapy.
