Abstract
Brain metastasis (BM) arising from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is quite rare. The prognosis and therapeutic effects of BM remain enigmatic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to make a separate analysis of BM from NSCLC patients with original uncommon EGFR mutations. We retrospectively reviewed 7 cases of BM arising from 42 cases of uncommon EGFR mutated lung cancer in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. We also performed a literature review to assess therapeutic features and outcomes.
