Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility to deliver PBI before the lumpectomy is performed. By administering the PBI before the lumpectomy, a smaller volume of breast tissue may be exposed to radiation. The PBI method used in this study is 3D (three dimensional) conformal external beam irradiation. 3D-conformal external beam irradiation uses an x-ray beam to deliver the radiation dose. Approximately 3 weeks after completion of the PBI, the cancer will be surgically removed.

This study will learn about the good and bad effects of 3D-conformal external beam irradiation PBI when given before the cancer has been removed by lumpectomy. The study will also learn about the feelings women have about how their breast looks after PBI and surgery.
