Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are at particularly high risk of developing brain metastases (BrM). In addition to EGFR targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), radiosurgery (SRS) has an important role in the management of EGFRm BrM. However, data specific to the response and toxicity of EGFRm BrM to SRS are sparse. We evaluated the incidence of local failure...
