[Treatment Challenges in EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer] Detection of EGFR gene mutations and targeted therapy have greatly improved outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer patients. However, these patients are more prone to brain metastases — especially those unresponsive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) — becoming a major clinical challenge.

Key Data:

• Among EGFR-mutant patients, the incidence of brain metastases is significantly higher than other cancer types.
• Patients unresponsive to EGFR-TKI have a further 50% increased risk of brain metastasis.
• Effective treatment regimens are being continuously explored to improve patient quality of life.
