Abstract

Objectives: Evaluate the result of treatment first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors in EGFR positive adenocarcinoma of lung with brain metastases and describe some factors related to PFS. Patients and Methods: 66 patients adenocarcinoma of lung have brain metastasis withEGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion and L858R point mutation exon 21) were treated with Gefitinib 250mg/day or Erlotinib 150mg/day, either whole brain radiation therapy or gamma knife was included or not. Results: The median PFS achieved 11,5 months. The median PFS of TKIs, TKIs + WBRT, TKIs + SRS were 11, 11 and 12,7 months, respectively. The median intracranial PFS was 11 months. Some factors predicts favourable outcomes are exon 19 deletion, response at 3-month and performance stasus 0-1, non or only one organ extracranial metastases. Conclusion: First-generation TKIs for brain metastases in adenocarcinoma of lung with EGFR mutation improved progression-free survival, especially in group used gamma knife in local therapy.
