Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in margin statusBaseline, 6-months after neoadjuvant treatment and surgery

Evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (6-months course) on margin status of breast conservation surgery for women with early stage, low-risk breast cancer, defined as ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative breast carcinoma (single lesion only). Negative margin status is defined as no tumor on ink.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Residual cancer burdenAfter neoadjuvant treatment and surgery (approximately 6 months from diagnosis)

The following parameters are required from pathologic examination in order to calculate Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) after neoadjuvant treatment: Primary tumor bed area, overall cancer cellularity (as percentage of area), percentage of cancer that is in situ disease, number of positive lymph nodes and diameter of largest metastasis. These parameters are filled in in the calculator that is available online to calculate the Residual Cancer Burden index: http://www3.mdanderson.org/app/medcalc/index.cfm?pagename=jsconvert3

Pattern of responseAfter neoadjuvant treatment and surgery (approximately 6 months from diagnosis)

Pattern of response (pathologic complete response, concentric shrinking with similar cellularity, size unchanged with decreased cellularity, no treatment response)

Change in satisfaction with cosmetic outcomeAfter neoadjuvant treatment and surgery (approximately 6 months and 12 months post-surgery)

The Breast-Q© is a patient reported outcome measure for breast surgery that measures patient reported satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) developed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It is comprised of 10 scales that address: 1) psychosocial well-being, 2) sexual well-being, 3) satisfaction with breasts, 4) physical well-being, 5) adverse effects of radiation, 6) satisfaction with information - breast surgeon, 7) satisfaction with information - radiation oncologist, 8) satisfaction with surgeon, 9) satisfaction with medical team, 10) satisfaction with office staff. Each module is scored from 0-100 where higher scores reflect a better outcome.
