Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving CT-guided accelerated radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying giving radiation therapy followed by surgery to see how well it works in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer.
