Abstract:
Brain metastasis is among the most common complications of non-small celllung cancer (NSCLC) and may obviously influence the survival and quality of life in the NSCLC patients. Recently, the development in traditional treatments, the widely-used micro-molecular targeted drugs, and the combined treatment have improved the overall survival and the quality of life of these patients. In addition, the exploration of new therapeutic targets and cognitive function protective methods for current treatments also deserves at-tention. This review emphasizes the relevant clinical and basic problems and the therapeutic strategies in NSCLC with brain metastases.
