Summary

This study tests whether adding the targeted drug pyrotinib to standard chemotherapy and trastuzumab before surgery can completely eliminate tumors in women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. About 53 women with stage II to III breast cancer will receive the combination, then have surgery to check for any remaining cancer. The goal is to improve the chance of a complete response, which may lead to better long-term outcomes.
