This is a single center, prospective cross-sectional study of women who have completed
therapy for primary breast cancer within 5 years of diagnosis and are at increased risk for
relapse.

Patients will undergo screening bone marrow aspirate to test for presence of disseminated
tumor cells (DTCs) Patients who harbor DTCs will be offered the opportunity for enrollment
into a clinical trial of therapy targeting DTCs to prevent recurrence (separate protocols).


Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically-confirmed primary invasive breast cancer within 5 years of study entry

- Pathologically-confirmed invasive breast cancer in axillary lymph nodes or tumor with
triple negative subtype: negative estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR)
and Her2-overexpression by ASCO-CAP guidelines or tumor with a Breast Cancer
Recurrence Score of ≥ 18 per the Genomic Health Oncotype DX breast cancer test, or
residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

- Completed all primary therapy (surgery, (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant
radiation) for the index malignancy with

- No evidence of local or distant recurrent disease by physical examination, blood
tests (CBC, LFTs, Alk Phos), or symptom-directed imaging, per NCCN guidelines.

- Normal coagulation studies: PT and PTT ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal per
institutional laboratory range. For patients on therapeutic anti-coagulants,
medication must be clinically held peri-procedure per standard clinical management.

- Willing to undergo bone marrow aspiration and blood specimen collection per protocol
specifications

- Age 18 or over and able to give informed consent

- Patient has no evidence of meeting exclusion criteria for companion clinical trials,
which are listed below.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Concurrent enrollment on another investigational therapy

- Patients receiving chronic, high dose systemic treatment with corticosteroids defined
as: chronic use of cortisone >50mg; hydrocortisone >40mg, prednisone >10mg,
methylprednisone >8mg or dexamethasone >1.5mg; or another immunosuppressive agent.
Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed.

- Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other
conditions that could affect their participation in the study such as:

- Symptomatic congestive heart failure of New York heart Association Class III or IV

- Unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction within 6 months of start of study
drug, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia or any other clinically significant
cardiac disease

- Severely impaired lung function with a previously documented spirometry and DLCO that
is 50% of the normal predicted value and/or 02 saturation that is 88% or less at rest
on room air

- Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose >1.5 x ULN

- Active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled severe infections

- Liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent
hepatitis

- A known history of HIV seropositivity as reported by the patient

- Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease (e.g., ulcerative
disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small
bowel resection)

- Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis

- Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding. Women of childbearing potential
must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test.

- Patients who have received prior treatment with an mTOR inhibitor (sirolimus,
temsirolimus, everolimus).

- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to Everolimus or other rapamycins (sirolimus,
temsirolimus) or to its excipients

- A detailed assessment of Hepatitis B/C medical history and risk factors must be done
at screening for all patients. HBV DNA and HCV RNA PCR testing are required at
screening for all patients with a positive medical history based on risk factors
and/or confirmation of prior HBV/HCV infection.
