  • Patients who have measurable\* residual tumor at the primary site
  • \*Measurable disease: any mass that can be reproducibly measured by physical examination, mammogram, and/or ultrasound and can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as 10 mm (1 cm), either in the breast or axillary lymph nodes.

  • Creatinine \</=1.5X upper limits of normal
  • Bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT \</=1.5X upper limits of normal\*
  • \* for patients with Gilbert"s syndrome, direct bilirubin will be measured instead of total bilirubin.

  • Potential subjects must complete all screening assessments as outlined in the protocol.

  • History of hepatitis B or hepatitis C. If patient is judged to be at risk for having had exposure to viral B or C hepatitis (i.e. illicit IV drug use, blood transfusion prior to 1990, body piercing, tattoos, etc.), appropriate testing should be performed (i.e. Hepatitis B surface antigen antibody, and Hepatitis C antibody)
  • Active or uncontrolled infection requiring parenteral antibiotics.
  • Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent.
