Progress of Targeted Therapy for Brain Metastasis from Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Patients with brain metastasis from non-small cell lung carcinoma(NSCLC) have poor prognosis and short natural median survival.The application of targeted drugs can significantly prolong the survival of patients with brain metastases from NSCLC.Among the driving genes found so far
epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutation accounts for the largest proportion
and anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK) rearrangement has the highest incidence of brain metastasis.Targeted drugs for the above two genes are constantly being developed
and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN) guidelines recommend different targeted treatment options.This paper reviews the current status of research on drugs targeting EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement based on NCCN guidelines
focusing on the intracranial effects of drugs
with the aim of providing reference for targeted therapy for patients with brain metastases from the above two driving genes.
