Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with documented stage II-III HER2+ or TNBC and fit candidates for NAT. 2. In TNBC group, confirmed negative ER, PR and HER2 disease by local testing on primary disease specimen: tumor must be negative ER, PR, and HER2 defined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines for hormone receptor testing (Allison et al., 2020; Wolff et al., 2023). 3. In HER2+ group, Confirmed HER2+ disease by local testing on primary disease specimen: tumour must be HER2+ according to ASCO/CAP 2023 guidelines for HER2 testing (Wolff et al., 2023). 4. Patients with measurable disease; Patients with multifocal or multicentric breast cancer with at least one tumor lesion ≥1.0 cm in the longest diameter by ultrasound (reference lesion) are also eligible if the two largest tumor lesions have been histologically confirmed in the clinical evaluation and meet pathological criteria for TNBC and HER2+. 5. No previous treatment of the disease by chemotherapy, hormone therapy, surgery or radiotherapy. 6. Patients with breast cancer are eligible for surgery. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status≤2. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Patients with bilateral invasive BC. 2. Patients with metastatic BC (local spread to axillary lymph nodes is permitted (cN1\_cN2a). 3\. Patients with inflammatory BC. 4. Patients with a known clinically significant history of liver disease consistent with Child-Pugh Class B or C, including hepatitis. 5. Patients with a history of invasive BC, ductal carcinoma in situ or lobular carcinoma in situ, and other malignancy within 5 years prior to screening. 6. Patients with a documented history of haemorrhagic diathesis, coagulopathy, or thromboembolism. 7. Patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of their excipients. 8. Patients with history of non-compliance to medical regimens. 9. Patients refusing to perform liquid and tissue biopsy. 10. Patients unwilling to or unable to comply with the protocol. 11. Patients having had major surgery within 14 days prior to screening. 12.
