   significant risk of distant recurrence based on at least one of the following
   criteria:

      - For axillary lymph node positive disease:

         - Involvement of at least one sentinel or axillary lymph node on routine
         histologic examination; patients with negative sentinel nodes and negative
         axillary nodes or involvement only demonstrated by immunohistochemistry are
         not eligible unless they meet one of the other eligibility criteria below

         - NOTE: consider intramammary nodes as equivalent to axillary nodes for the
         purposes of eligibility and stratification

         - Estrogen receptor (ER) negative tumor >= 1 cm

         - ER+ tumor >= 5 cm regardless of recurrence score

         - ER+ tumor >= 1 cm but < 5 cm with a recurrence score >= 11 (patients
         enrolled in the TAILORx trial are eligible)

         - NOTE: axillary dissection is strongly encouraged in patients with lymph node
         involvement identified on sentinel node biopsy

   - Patients must have completed definitive breast surgery including total mastectomy and
   axillary dissection (modified radical mastectomy), total mastectomy and sentinel node
   biopsy, breast conservation surgery and axillary dissection or breast conservation
   surgery and sentinel node biopsy

      excisional biopsy

   invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS); patients with resection
   margins positive for lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are eligible

   - Time from last surgery for breast cancer (breast conservation surgery, mastectomy,
   sentinel node biopsy, axillary dissection or re-excision of breast conservation
   surgery margins) to planned treatment start date must be > 28 days and =< 84 days

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000/mm^3

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Total bilirubin =< 1.5 mg/dL

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 2 times
   upper limit of normal(ULN)

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Serum creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Urine protein:creatinine ratio < 1.0 or
   24-hour protein

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) =< 1.5
   times ULN

   - Within =< 8 weeks prior to randomization: Left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) >=
   institutional limits of normal by multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram
   (ECHO)

   - Patients who have undergone breast conservation surgery must receive radiation; prior
   to randomization, the investigator must specify the planned radiation technique:

      - Whole breast radiation (WBRT) after chemotherapy

      - Accelerated partial breast radiation (APBI) after chemotherapy

      - Accelerated partial breast radiation (APBI) prior to chemotherapy

      - NOTE: if APBI was completed prior to study entry, day 1 of protocol therapy must
      be at least 4 weeks after the completion of APBI

   - Post-mastectomy radiation therapy (RT) is required for all patients with a primary
   tumor of >= 5 cm or involvement of 4 or more lymph nodes; post-mastectomy RT may be
   administered at the investigator's discretion for all other mastectomy patients

   - Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2 + (3+ by
   immunohistochemistry [IHC] or fluorescent in situ hybridization [FISH] ratio >= 2)
   breast cancer are not eligible

   - Patients with synchronous bilateral breast cancer (diagnosed within one month) are
   eligible if the higher tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) stage tumor meets the eligibility
   criteria for this trial

   - Patients must not have clinical evidence of inflammatory disease or fixed axillary
   nodes at diagnosis

   - Patients must not have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for
   this breast cancer; prior treatment with an anthracycline, anthracenedione or taxane
   for any condition is not allowed

      - NOTE: prior use of tamoxifen for chemoprevention is allowed but must be
      discontinued at study entry; similarly, prior raloxifene use is allowed but must
      be discontinued at study entry

   - Patients must not have had any major surgical procedure within 28 days of planned
   treatment start date

      - NOTE: non-operative biopsy or placement of a vascular access device is not
      considered a major surgery

   - Patients may not have had placement of a vascular access device within 24 hours of
   planned day 1 of treatment

   - Patients must not have clinically significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular
   disease, including:

      - Any history of

         subarachnoid hemorrhage

      molecular weight (LMW) heparin
