Abstract:
Most patients with lung cancer will find brain metastases in the late stage,the metastatic tumor is a common complication in the patients with advanced lung cancer and treatment failure.In recent years, with the rise in the incidence of lung cancer and the development of diagnosis and treatment technology,the diagnosis rate of lung cancer with brain metastases has been significantly improved.Approximately 10% of the newly diagnosed lung cancer patients have had brain metastases,and up to 40% of patients get secondary brain metastases during the treatment.Therefore,a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of patients with advanced metastatic brain tumors(the chemotherapy, whole brain radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, surgical treatment,targeted therapy,traditional Chinese medicine treatment,palliative care)will greatly reduce the clinical symptoms,improve the quality of life and prolong the survival period.
