* Tumor is less than or equal to 2cm (T1a through T1c) in maximum dimension based on diagnostic ultrasound, or if not visible on ultrasound, then on mammogram. Must have clinically and radiographically node negative disease. Inclusion criteria for different tumor sizes is as follows:

  * cT1a or cT1b (≤ 1cm): Nottingham Grade I or II allowed entry.
  * cT1c (\>1-2cm): only Nottingham Grade I allowed entry.
* Breast cancer must be ER positive and HER2 negative according to the definition below, as assessed by local pathology.

  * ER is considered positive if there are ≥ 60% positive tumor nuclei in the samples.
  * HER2 negativity is defined per the current ASCO/CAP Clinical Practice Guideline.
* Patients with cognitive impairment are eligible provided that a legal surrogate is able to sign informed consent for study participation.
* Archival tissue will be submitted for all participants. Tissue must be confirmed available prior to registration.

Exclusion Criteria:
