Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cisplatin when given with radiation therapy
prior to surgery is effective in improving response to treatment in breast cancer patients.
Tumor, blood and bone marrow samples will be collected in this study and will also help
researchers determine if cisplatin is able to change tumor DNA so it cannot multiply itself
and create more tumor cells, and cause the tumor cells to die.
