Chidamide Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Early Triple-negative Breast Cancer

Objective to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with Chidamide combined with chemotherapy for stage II - III triple-negative breast cancer，and to compare the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy with Chidamide and chemotherapy alone in the neoadjuvant treatment of stage II - III triple-negative breast cancer
