Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a short term administration of a targeted therapy (i.e., anastrozole) in women with newly diagnosed early invasive or non invasive breast cancer during the interval between their breast biopsy and surgery. Anastrozole is a form of hormonal therapy which is part of the standard treatment for hormone sensitive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This clinical model is being used to evaluate the biologic effects of this drug on a specific molecular pathway called the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
