8. Adequate bone marrow as defined by the following laboratory values:
1. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L.
2. Platelets (plt) ≥ 100 x 109/L.
3. Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10 g/dl.
9. Patient has adequate organ function as defined by the following laboratory values:
1. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN).
2. Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
3. Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2 × ULN.
4. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2 × ULN.
10. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Stage IIIB-IV breast cancer or bilateral breast cancer.
2. Treatment with any other current anti-tumoral therapy (chemotherapy, anti-Her2…etc) besides the NSAI. Pamidronate or Alendronate are permitted.

4. Postmenopausal uterine bleeding. Vaginal bleeding of unknown etiology.
5. Patients with endometrial thickness equal to or greater than 4 mm measured by transvaginal ultrasound.
6. Patients who have received any type of vulvovaginal treatment in the 15 days prior to the start of the study.
7. Use of any hormone, natural (phytoestrogens) or herbal products for the treatment of menopausal symptoms within the last 3 months.
8. Current or previous history of thromboembolic disease or coagulopathies.
9. Severe cardiovascular or respiratory diseases in the previous 6 months.
10. Renal Impairment.
11. Hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C carriers (unless with normal hepatic function).
12. Known human immunodeficiency virus infection.
13. Known hypersensitivity to NSAI.
14. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
