PD-1 Combined With Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Antivascular Therapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Patients With Operable Triple-negative Breast Cancer

A Single-center, Randomized, Open-label, Phase III Study Comparing PD-1 Combined With Anthracycline/Taxane-based Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Antivascular Therapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Patients With Operable Triple-negative Breast Cancer
