Participants with clinical T4 biopsy-proven breast cancer with no evidence of distant metastases who demonstrate a complete or partial response to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy/NAC and desire immediate autologous reconstruction/IR will be eligible to enroll.

Participants will undergo pre-NART core biopsy guided by post-NAC MRI to the area of residual enhancement or to the previously biopsied cancer if no residual enhancement remains

Pre-neoadjuvant radiotherapy (NART) biopsy

After biopsy, participants will undergo neoadjuvant radiotherapy/NART

Neoadjuvant radiotherapy

At 2-6 weeks after completion of NART, participants will undergo unilateral MRM (total mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection), with resection of all involved breast skin. Skin-sparing mastectomy will not be permitted. All patients will also undergo simultaneous unilateral autologous-based breast reconstruction with DIEP, ms-TRAM, or latissimus dorsi flap.

The purpose of this study to test an alternative treatment approach that involves giving participants radiotherapy before their mastectomy (preoperative radiotherapy) and performing immediate reconstruction surgery at the time of mastectomy. The immediate reconstruction surgery is called an immediate autologous reconstruction (IR) and is different than the standard reconstruction surgery people with T4 breast cancer have. IR is a surgical procedure where immediately following your mastectomy, the surgeon takes tissue from another part of your body and uses it to re-create your breast. The standard reconstruction surgery occurs later and can be done with an implant or tissue from your body.

The main purpose of this study to find out if the alternative treatment approach shown above is feasible. The study will see how safe this alternative treatment approach is compared with the standard treatment approach.

Prospectively assess the feasibility of neoadjuvant radiotherapy (NART) and modified radical mastectomy with immediate autologous reconstruction (IR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with clinical T4 breast cancer, compared with the current standard of care ( \[NAC, modified radical mastectomy \[MRM\] with delayed reconstruction, and postmastectomy radiotherapy \[PMRT\]), by assessing the rate of wound complications (surgical site infection \[SSI\], reoperative intervention, and flap failure)
