ABSTRACT
As the leading cause of death among lung cancer patients, brain metastasis occurs in approximately 10 percent of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients at first diagnosis.Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is still the standard treatment for patients with brain metastasis, however, the efficacy of WBRT reaches a plateau.It has been proved that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) make considerable therapeutic effect for NSCLC patients with brain metastasis.The combination therapy of TKIs with WBRT may provide new major treatment for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant NSCLC with brain metastasis.
