The patient has an easily accessible, palpable, and measurable local tumor with detection confirmed by physical examination, mammogram and/or ultrasound (U/S) and CT scan wherever possible. MRI scans may be used if appropriate. 3. The patient has histologic confirmation of diagnosis of breast cancer within 7 days prior to Day 1 of study. 4.
