This clinical trial studies the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (radio waves) therapy using the TheraBionic P1 device before surgery in treating patient with stage I-III breast cancer that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The TheraBionic P1 device emits radio waves that may be able to block the growth of tumor cells without affecting the growth of normal cells. This trial may enhance cure rates and offer a new treatment option for patients with stage I-III resectable breast cancer who are not candidates for supplemental chemotherapy.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To descriptively summarize the pathological response of breast cancer to short-term use of breast cancer-specific amplitude-modulated radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (AM RF EMF) therapy, delivered using the TheraBionic P1 device in patients with resectable early-stage breast cancer in the neoadjuvant setting.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate long term outcomes.
II. To explore the effects of short-term delivery of breast cancer-specific AM RF EMF therapy on markers of breast tumor proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest in pathological specimens.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the association of FLT uptake on PET and pathological response to treatment.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo AM RF EMF therapy using the TheraBionic P1 device over 60 minutes three times daily (TID) for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may also undergo optional [18F]3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine (FLT)-positron emission tomography (PET) throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years.
