Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a breast MRI biopsy to accurately diagnose a complete tumor response to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) that the patient just finished. Numerous studies have shown that MRI has the highest accuracy for diagnosing a complete tumor response. The investigator wants to see if in a certain group of women who's breast cancer is no longer visible on the post-treatment MRI that the biopsy specimens from a MRI guided biopsy will accurately diagnose a complete tumor response to treatment which may in the future make breast surgery unnecessary in some women.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MRI biopsy

All patients enrolled will have had complete MR imaging response post Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) and will undergo percutaneous MR guided biopsy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MRI Biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patient will undergo percutaneous MR guided biopsy by study Breast Radiologist within 0-60 days of completing NAC.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Women age 18 years or older
* Confirmed histologic diagnosis of operable HER2 overexpressing (ER\<10%, PR\<10%, and HER2 2+ or FISH amplified) OR triple negative (ER\<10%, PR\<10%, and HER2 0/1+ or 2+/FISH not amplified) OR ER positive invasive ductal or invasive lobular breast cancer including MSKCC pathology confirmation
* Operable breast cancer treated with NAC undergoing either breast conservation or total Mastectomy who have had a post-NAC clinical bilateral breast MRI demonstrating a complete imaging response, which is defined as no residual tumor enhancement.
* No indication of distant metastases (M0)
* Tumor site amenable to MRI guided biopsy as determined by the radiologist
* Definitive surgery being performed at MSKCC within within 0-60 days of completing NAC
* ECOG performance status score of 0 to ≤ 2 and or KPS performance status score of 80% to 100%
* Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must not be pregnant.
* Women must not be breastfeeding
* Willing and able to provide informed consent and adhere to the study visit schedule and plan as specified in this protocol

Exclusion Criteria

* Medical history and concurrent disease:

* Prior history of treated breast cancer
* Any underlying medical or psychiatric conditions, which in the opinion of the investigator, will make performing the study intervention hazardous or obscure the interpretation of the results
* Prohibited Treatments and/or Therapies:

* Prior history of breast cancer surgery and/or radiotherapy.
