Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Pyrotinib
Eligible patients will receive four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide combined with pyrotinib. Pyrotinib is administered orally at 400 mg daily from day 1 of the first cycle to day 21 of the fourth cycle or to the day of surgery, within 30 minutes after breakfast. Epirubicin (90 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days. Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days.
