- Safety and Tolerability of Two Delivery methods [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]Compare the number and severity of adverse events per CTCAE v4.0
- Compare the pathological effects between the 2 routes of administration [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]Determine the pathological effects, specifically changes in Ki67, ER/PgR expression between the pre-fulvestrant biopsy and the post-fulvestrant surgical specimen.
- Compare fulvestrant levels by route of administration [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]Compare the tissue and circulating levels of fulvestrant following a single dose administered either intramuscularly or intraductallly
