             range (> 25 pg/ml) at the beginning of the study; for women on oral contraceptives,
             these agents must be held for two weeks before the estradiol assessment is made

          -  Patient must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of registration

          -  Patient's tumor must be ER+ with or without concomitant progesterone receptor-positive
             (PR+) with an Allred score of 6, 7 or 8; patients with > 66.6% of cells staining
             positive by conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC) have a minimum Allred score of 6
             and are eligible

          -  Patient's tumors must be HER2 negative by local laboratory assessment: HER2 IHC 0, 1+,
             or 2+ with subsequent negative fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) (ratio < 1.8);
             negative FISH alone in absence of IHC is acceptable

          -  Patient must have T2-T4c, any N, M0 breast cancer, by clinical staging (physical
             examination)

          -  Patient's primary tumor must be palpable and measure > 2 cm by tape, ruler or caliper
             measurements in at least one dimension

          -  Patient must have mammogram and ultrasound of the breast within 42 days prior to
             registration; if a patient has clinically palpable or suspicious nodes, then an
             ultrasound of the axilla is also required

          -  Patient, as documented by the treating physician, must be clinically staged as one of
             the following:

               -  T4 a-c for which modified radical mastectomy with negative margins is the goal

               -  T2 or T3 for which conversion from needing mastectomy to breast conservation is
                  the goal

               -  T2 for which lumpectomy at first attempt is the goal

          -  Patient must be > or = 18 years old.

          -  Patient must stop taking all forms of hormonal treatment, including oral or other form
             of hormonal contraceptive methods and all forms of hormone replacement therapy, at
             least two weeks prior to starting protocol therapy

          -  Patient must agree to use a "highly-effective form of non-hormonal contraception"
             (applies to patient and/or partner)

          -  Patient must be willing to undergo oophorectomy, if indicated

          -  Patient must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of
             =< 2

          -  Patient must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

          -  Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL

          -  Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL

          -  Platelets >= 100,000/mcL

          -  Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits

          -  Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
             [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])
             =< 3.0 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

          -  Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR

          -  Creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above
             institutional normal

          -  If the patient is a cancer survivor, all of the following criteria must be met

          -  Patient has undergone potentially curative therapy from all prior malignancies

          -  Patient must have no evidence of any prior malignancies for at least 5 years with no
             evidence of recurrence (except for successfully treated cervical carcinoma in situ,
             lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast, contralateral ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
             treated with mastectomy or lumpectomy and radiation but without tamoxifen treatment,
             or non-melanoma skin cancer with no evidence of recurrence)
