Exclusion Criteria: Cohort 1: * Received any form of neoadjuvant treatment * Presence of any other concurrent, actively treated malignancy * Presence of metastatic disease * If performing a CPET, any of the following contraindications: * Acute myocardial infarction within 3-5 days of any planned study procedures; * Unstable angina * Uncontrolled arrhythmia causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise * Recurrent syncope * Active endocarditis * Acute myocarditis or pericarditis * Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis * Uncontrolled heart failure * Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction within 3 months of any planned study procedures * Thrombosis of lower extremities * Suspected dissecting aneurysm * Uncontrolled asthma * Pulmonary edema * Respiratory failure * Acute non-cardiopulmonary disorders that may affect exercise performance or be aggravated by exercise (i.e., infection, renal failure, thyrotoxicosis). * Mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate * If performing a CPET, room air desaturation at rest ≤ 85% * Any other condition or intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant a poor candidate for the study. Cohort 2: * Use of any selective estrogen receptor modulator or aromatase inhibitor within 6 months of consent, including, but not limited to: tamoxifen, raloxifene, arzoxifene, acolbifene, anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole. * Enrollment on an interventional investigational study * Bilateral breast implants * History of any of the following: * Invasive breast cancer * DCIS * Any current invasive cancer diagnosis * Metastatic malignancy of any kind * If performing a CPET, any of the following contraindications: * Acute myocardial infarction within 3-5 days of any planned study procedures; * Unstable angina * Uncontrolled arrhythmia causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise * Recurrent syncope * Active endocarditis * Acute myocarditis or pericarditis * Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis * Uncontrolled heart failure * Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction within 3 months of any planned study procedures * Thrombosis of lower extremities * Suspected dissecting aneurysm * Uncontrolled asthma * Pulmonary edema * Respiratory failure * Acute non-cardiopulmonary disorders that may affect exercise performance or be aggravated by exercise (i.e., infection, renal failure, thyrotoxicosis). * Mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate * If performing a CPET, room air desaturation at rest ≤ 85% * Any other condition or intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant a poor candidate for the core biopsy or the study.
