To assess the four month treatment as being predictive of clinical tumor response
  • safety and tolerability of the treatment regimens
  • correlation of tumor volume to biological marker expression
  • comparison of breast-conserving surgery versus mastectomy
  • comparison of frequency of pathological response
  • investigation of letrozole pharmacokinetics
  • investigation of tumor-specific mutations
