    The treatment of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) with driver gene mutations has traditionally used tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and intracranial radiotherapy

    The study is divided into two groups: TKI monotherapy and TKI+radiotherapy (TKI+CNS RT)


    The study is divided into two groups: TKI monotherapy and TKI+radiotherapy (TKI+CNS RT)


    A total of 147 patients were enrolled (EGFR=94 cases, ALK=52 cases, 1 case in both groups)


    In EGFR-positive patients, there was no statistical difference in the prognostic indicators between the TKI vs CNS RT + TKI group, including the time to any progression (8.



    Prognosis of EGFR population

    In ALK-positive patients, there was no statistical difference in the prognostic indicators between the TKI vs CNS RT + TKI group, including the time of any progression (11.


    In ALK-positive patients, there was no statistical difference in the prognostic indicators between the TKI vs CNS RT + TKI group, including the time of any progression (11.



    Prognosis of ALK population

    For EGFR-positive patients, there was no statistical difference in the time to treatment failure between the two treatment groups (13.


    For EGFR-positive patients, there was no statistical difference in the time to treatment failure between the two treatment groups (13.



    EGFR and ALK population treatment failure time

    Subgroup analysis found that when TKI was used as the first-line treatment, there was no statistical difference between the two treatment groups of EGFR-positive patients, including any progression time (11.

    In summary, the study shows that CNS-permeable TKI therapy can delay the use of radiotherapy in suitable patients without adverse effects
