No clinical evidence of nodal disease (i.e. cN0), on physical examination done ≤ 12 weeks from treatment start, as well as on breast ultrasound 7. Estrogen receptor status (ER) positive on biopsy 8. Her2 negative on biopsy 9. Grade 1 or 2 on biopsy 10. Planned surgery is a partial mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy 11. Localisation markers placed before treatment Exclusion Criteria: 1. Age less than 65 years 2. A known deleterious mutation in BRCA 1 and/or BRCA 2 3. Clinical tumor size > 2.0 cm in greatest diameter on staging ultrasound 4.
