EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors versus cranial radiation therapy for EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: EGFR TKIs alone have demonstrated activity against intracranial disease in EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to determine if upfront cranial radiotherapy improves intracranial disease control and survival outcomes in EGFR mutant NSCLC with brain metastases relative to TKIs alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched MEDLINE and various conference proceedings...
