Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs, lenvatinib and letrozole, given before surgery to postmenopausal women with a common type of breast cancer (hormone receptor positive). The goal is to see if the drugs can shrink the tumor enough to improve surgical outcomes. About 40 women will take part, first to find the safest dose, then to measure how well the treatment works.
