Summary

This study tests whether giving hormone therapy for 6 months before surgery can help remove all cancer in one piece, reducing the need for a full mastectomy. It includes 8 postmenopausal women with early-stage, low-risk, ER-positive breast cancer. The main goal is to see if the tumor shrinks enough to achieve clean surgical margins.
