Drug: Leuprorelin acetate
In premenopausal women, 3.75mg of leuprorelin acetate is subcutaneously administered once every 4 weeks for 16 weeks. (if needed, maximum for 24 weeks)
Other Name: Leuplin Drug: Letrozole 2.5 mg tablet is orally administered once a day, without regard to meals, for 16 weeks (if needed, maximum for 24 weeks)
Other Names:
Genetic: MammaPrint In this study, patients with MammaPrint test is performed, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is conducted to genomic High Risk patients, and neoadjuvant endocrine therapy is conducted to Low Risk patients. |
- Conversion Rate [ Time Frame: 4 months(maximum 6 months) ]Evaluate the conversion rate from BCS-ineligible to BCS-eligible patients
- Actual Conversion Rate [ Time Frame: 4 months(maximum 6 months) ]Evaluate the actual performance rate of BCS
- pCR [ Time Frame: 4 months(maximum 6 months) ]Evaluate pathological complete response
- cCR [ Time Frame: 4 months(maximum 6 months) ]Evaluate clinical response rate
- Tumor Size Reduction Rate [ Time Frame: 4 months(maximum 6 months) ]Evaluate the accomplished rate of targeted tumor size reduction which enable to make BCS possible at presentation
