Primary outcomes

  1. tpCR

    Time frame: immediately after surgery

    It is defined as the absence of residual invasive carcinoma in the resected breast cancer specimens stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and no cancer metastasis in all ipsilateral lymph node samples, after completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate(ORR)

    Time frame: 2 years

    Baseline to measured stable disease

  2. Disease-free survival(DFS) Baseline to measured date of recurrence or death from any cause

    Time frame: 3 years

    Baseline to measured date of recurrence or death from any cause

  3. bpCR

    Time frame: immediately after surgery

    After neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery, breast was free of any invasive cancer

  4. Adverse Events rate

    Time frame: 1-year

    Evaluate the nature, incidence and severity of chemotherapy adverse events according to CTCAE 5.0
