Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Feasibility of Preoperative Ablative Breast Radiotherapy (SABER) for Selected Early Stage Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find the most effective dose of radiation therapy to give to breast tumors in a shorter period of time, prior to standard partial mastectomy/axillary surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

8. Ability to undergo MRI.
9. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use adequate contraception or agree to undergo sexual abstinence prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at time of enrollment.

10. Ability to understand the investigational nature, potential risks and benefits of the research study and willingness to sign the written informed consent and HIPAA document(s).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients without histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer.
2. Patients without Oncotype or MammaPrint diagnosis results at the start of treatment.

4. ECOG 2, 3, 4.
5. Patients that are unable to undergo MRI.
6. Prior history of radiation to the chest.
7. History of collagenous disease (systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis).
8. Any serious medical or psychiatric illness/condition likely in the judgment of the Investigator(s) to interfere or limit compliance with study requirements/treatment.
