Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects good and bad taking capecitabine for 12 weeks before surgery will have on women with breast cancer
Detailed Description: Prior to the start of treatment patients will have a small metal clip inserted into the tumor bed to identify the tumor site to the surgeon At that time a needle biopsy of the breast tumor or a sentinel underarm lymph node biopsy will also be performed
Patients will take capecitabine orally twice daily for 14 days This treatment will repeat every 21 days 1 cycle Patients will receive 4 cycles of this treatment
A physical exam and blood work will be done every three weeks after starting therapy to monitor side effects
After two weeks of capecitabine a biopsy from the tumor will be done to generate information about the characteristics of the tumor that may respond to capecitabine
After completing 4 cycles 12 weeks of capecitabine patients will then undergo surgery to remove any remaining breast cancer lumpectomy or mastectomy Post-surgical treatment radiation chemotherapy and hormonal therapy is at the discretion of the patients physician
