Abstract

The incidence of brain metastasis (BM) is reported to be increase about 20-40% over the last few years in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1 The use of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in NSCLC patients with BM, especially those harboring EGFR mutations have been reported.
