* Patients with more than one autoimmune disease are eligible. The treating physician would determine which autoimmune disease is dominant and the patient would be treated under that specific cohort (Please note: Patients with more than one autoimmune disease should receive assessments for all previously diagnosed autoimmune diseases. For example, a patient with psoriasis and IBD might be enrolled in the IBD cohort. Disease assessments for both psoriasis and IBD should be obtained, as per protocol. Case report forms \[CRFs\] for all relevant autoimmune diseases should be utilized. However, all additional cohort requirements will be considered optional and only the assessments from the assigned cohort will be considered mandatory)

* Treatment plan that includes regional nodal irradiation.
* Any treatment with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or biotherapy, administered for the currently diagnosed breast cancer prior to pre-entry/Step 1.
* History of non-breast malignancies (except for in situ cancers treated only by local excision and basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin) within 5 years prior to pre-entry/Step 1.
* Current therapy with any endocrine therapy such as raloxifene (Evista®), tamoxifen, or other selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), either for osteoporosis or breast cancer prevention.
\*\* Patients are eligible for BR007 if they receive a short course of preoperative endocrine therapy of less than 6 weeks duration (prior to randomization/Step 2) for this diagnosis after the core biopsy (and can continue postoperatively if:
* the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score is assessed on the biopsy core and is less than or equal to 18, AND
* the patient had not initiated endocrine therapy prior to core biopsy tissue collection.
\*\*\* This does not apply to adjuvant endocrine therapy recommended for this diagnosis which may start any time after surgery including prior to registration (Pre-entry/Step 1).
* Patients intending to continue on oral, transdermal, or subdermal estrogen replacement (including all estrogen only and estrogen-progesterone formulas) are not eligible. Patients that discontinue oral, transdermal, or subdermal estrogen replacement prior to registration are eligible.
* Prior breast or thoracic RT for any condition.
* Active collagen vascular disease, specifically dermatomyositis with a CPK level above normal or with an active skin rash, systemic lupus erythematosis, or scleroderma.
* Pregnancy or lactation at the time of pre-entry/Step 1 or intention to become pregnant during treatment. (Note: Pregnancy testing according to institutional standards for women of childbearing potential must be performed within 2 weeks prior to pre-entry/Step 1.)
* Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of study therapy or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications.
* Psychiatric or addictive disorders or other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the patient from meeting the study requirements or interfere with interpretation of study results.
* Use of any investigational product within 30 days prior to pre-entry/Step 1. OTHER: Radiation and Endocrine Therapy (Tamoxifen, Anastrozol, Letrozole, Exemestane), DRUG: Endocrine Therapy (Tamoxifen, Anastrozol, Letrozole, Exemestane)

NCT05309655
Inclusion Criteria
* Women age ≤55 who were premenopausal at the time of breast cancer diagnosis; (Premenopausal is defined as per NCCN criteria).
* Planned breast cancer treatment with NCED (near-complete estrogen deprivation) therapy that includes aromatase inhibitor therapy (or SERD) with medically or surgically induced menopause within three (3) months of initiating NCED (HR-positive tumor) or, for the cohorts not receiving NCED therapy, within three (3) months of planned chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. Index date for three months is defined as final date of treatment with chemotherapy, surgery or radiation which ever happens last (HR-negative tumor). Treatment with a Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonist for fertility preservation during chemotherapy is allowed and is not considered part of the NCED antineoplastic therapy.
* Women with human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) negative and women with human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) positive breast cancer are eligible.
* Treatment with CDK-inhibitor, PARP inhibitor immunotherapy or biologic (non-chemotherapy) agent as part of anti-neoplastic treatment plan is allowed. These agents are not considered chemotherapy.
* Treatment with selective-estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) rather than aromatase inhibitor is allowed.
* Diagnosed with Stage I-III breast cancer.
* ECOG performance status of 0-2
* Patients with concurrent malignancies are eligible as long as therapies and disease course for these are reasonably expected to not impact cardiovascular function. (Examples of eligible malignancies include: papillary/follicular thyroid cancer, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ and early stage cervical cancers, etc.).
* Patients with prior COVID-19 are eligible if they have recovered from the illness and are free of COVID-related symptoms other than allowable persistent symptoms: loss of taste and smell and/or grade 1 fatigue.
* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign an IRB-approved informed consent document (either directly or via a legally authorized representative).
* The study will allow up to 30% of patients with MRI non-compatible breast expanders recognizing that baseline CMR will be outside of imaging window. Note: Registration of these participants will require study PI approval (Dr. Jordan or Dr. Thomas).
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to adenosine
* Active wheezing.
* Those with contraindications for MRI such as ferromagnetic cerebral aneurysm clips or other intracranial metal, pacemakers, defibrillators, functioning neurostimulator devices or other implanted electronic devices, or some breast expanders.
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
* Pregnant women are excluded from this study. Because some methods of birth control are not 100% reliable, a pregnancy test is required, unless the patient has undergone either a bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy or both.
* Coronary revascularization in the past 6 months or known severe multi-vessel coronary artery disease previously determined to be not amendable to mechanical intervention.
* Ongoing, unrelieved symptoms thought to represent cardiac ischemia and requiring immediate cardiac catheterization
* Allergy or prior sensitivity to gadolinium or other contrasting agents or their excipients.
* Men with breast cancer.
* Known chronic renal insufficiency or chronic electrolyte abnormalities as determined by the treating physician.
