Conditions: Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC); Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy; Chemotherapy Effects

Summary: evaluating bemotuzumab to improve the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (tnbc)

this study aims to prospectively evaluate the pathological complete response (pcr) rate in patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (tnbc) receiving standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with bemotuzumab.
