Abstract

Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who develop leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) have a poor prognosis. There is no standard treatment for LM with EGFRm NSCLC. Recently, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has been shown to be a potential therapeutic option for patients with EGFRm NSCLC and LM. Preclinical evidence shows that third-generation EGFR-TKIs, being investigated as a therapy for LM, have greater penetration of the blood-brain barrier compared with first- and second-generation treatment.
