Experimental Treatment
Group I: Breast conservation surgery and radiation therapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo breast conserving surgery. Patients receive adjuvant chemotherapy at the physician's discretion. Patients receiving chemotherapy will start treatment within 12 weeks following surgery. Patients receive radiation therapy within 8 weeks following the last dose of chemotherapy or within 10 weeks following surgery if not receiving chemotherapy. Patients receive endocrine therapy at the physician's discretion. Patient observation will occur every 6 months until 5 years after the end of radiation therapy.
