This is a Phase II trial of preoperative stereotactic radiation to the breast for low risk breast cancer.
This is a single arm phase II study design, evaluating the pathologic response (primary endpoint) as well as toxicity, cosmetic outcome, quality of life, and translational correlates (secondary endpoints) to pre-operative stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to intact breast tumors in patients with hormone-receptor positive early stage breast cancer.

Treatment Response Measured by Residual Cancer Burden (RCB)
Number of participants with Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) designation 0 (also known as pathologic complete response (pCR)), and RCB I designation (combined endpoint of either of those designations) 4-6 weeks after pre-operative SBRT to intact breast tumors.
Time frame: 4-6 weeks
Number of Participants With Treatment-related Toxicity
The number of participants with severe acute toxicity, defined as any CTCAE v4 grade 3 or higher toxicity noted from RT delivery up to 90 days after completion of surgery, up to 4 months.
Time frame: RT delivery up to 90 days after completion of surgery, up to 4 months
Cosmetic Outcome (Patients)
Number of patients who report poor cosmetic outcomes from patient perspective at 90 days after pre-operative SBRT to intact breast tumors using the Radiation therapy oncology group (RTOG) cosmesis scale and digital images. RTOG Cosmesis Scale: 1 (excellent), 2 (good), 3 (fair), and 4 (poor)
Time frame: 90 days
Local Recurrence
To measure local recurrence in participants
Time frame: 1 year
Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale (BCTOS)
To assess patient reported satisfaction and quality of life with treatment using the Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale (BCTOS). The BCTOS is a questionnaire that evaluates the aesthetic and functional outcomes of breast conserving surgery (BCS). Patients rate each item on the questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale, with 1 indicating no difference and 4 indicating a large difference between the treated and untreated breast. Score range 22-88. Higher scores indicate higher difference.
Time frame: Pre and Post surgery (Up to 3 years)

Cosmetic Outcome (Provider)
Number of providers who report poor cosmetic outcomes from provider perspective at 90 days after pre-operative SBRT to intact breast tumors using the RTOG (Radiation therapy oncology group) cosmesis scale and digital images. RTOG Cosmesis Scale: 1 (excellent), 2 (good), 3 (fair), and 4 (poor)
Time frame: 90 days
