* Use of letrozole
* Outcome central Ki67 determination in two weeks biopsy available.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence of distant metastases (M1)
* Previous invasive breast cancer
* Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormonal therapy with the exception of patients who received letrozole ≤ 14 days (+ max. 4 days) prior to registration and who are still on letrozole.
* Previous malignancy within 5 years, with exception of a history of a previous basal cell carcinoma of the skin or pre-invasive carcinoma of the cervix.
* Peripheral neuropathy \> grade 2, whatever the cause
* Serious other diseases as infections (hepatitis B, C and HIV), recent myocardial infarction, clinical signs of cardiac failure or clinically significant arrhythmias or on screening, any of the following cardiac parameters: bradycardia (heart rate \<50 at rest) or QTcF ≥450 msec.
* Known hypersensitivity reaction to any of the components of the treatment (peanuts, soy)
* Currently receiving warfarin or other coumarin derived anti-coagulant, for treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise. Therapy with heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), or fondaparinux is allowed.
* Currently receiving any of the following substances and cannot be discontinued 7 days prior to randomisation:

  * Known strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5, including grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pummelo's, star-fruit, pomegranate and Seville oranges.
