Measure
Arimidex + Faslodex
Patients will have an Oncotype Dx performed and if the RS is \<25, they will receive Anastrazole and Fulvestrant for 16 weeks. On day 28, subjects will be evaluated for side effects and a needle core biopsy (optional) will be obtained. Response evaluation will occur every 28 days. All treatment will continue for 4 months followed by breast surgery. After surgery, patients will be off study and will receive additional breast cancer therapy per their treating physician. Patients who develop progressive disease on protocol will be removed from the study and treated by their treating physician. The protocol will be closed after the last accrued patient has had surgery. Fulvestrant: Fulvestrant IM on day 14 and on day 28 followed by day 28 of all subsequent cycles thereafter. Treatment will be continued for a total of 4 cycles. Anastrazole: Anastrazole, 1mg by mouth every day of all 28 day cycles and continued for a total of 4 cycles
