Participant inclusion criteria	1. Histologically proven breast cancer (incisional specimen or tru-cut biopsy) 2. Upper age limit 70 years 3. Potentially operable primary breast cancer more than or equal to 3 cm in diameter (maximum). (Patients with tumours more than or equal to 2 cm may also be included where chemotherapy is deemed appropriate and the patients would otherwise require radical surgery) 4.
