Summary

This study looks at whether giving hormone therapy before breast-conserving surgery helps reduce leftover cancer cells at the edges of removed tissue. It involves 176 postmenopausal women with stage 2-3 ER+/HER2- invasive lobular carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach leads to fewer repeat surgeries and better surgical results.
