Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to evaluate response rate (RR) to brain metastasis radiotherapy (RT), depending on the genomic status of non-small-cell lung cancer. MATERIAL & METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 1971 non-small-cell lung cancer files of patients with EGFR and KRAS testing and focused on 157 patients who had undergone RT for brain metastasis. RESULTS: A total of 16 patients (10.2%) harbored EGFR...
