How effective is targeted drug for brain metastasis of lung cancer? It has a certain effect

Lung cancer causes brain metastasis, and patients can be treated with small molecule chemicals. If targeted drugs are used together with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, better treatment effects can often be achieved.

We know that lung cancer is a very harmful disease and is not conducive to improving the quality of life. It must be treated early. Let's learn about the effect of taking targeted drugs for brain metastasis of lung cancer!
For patients with lung cancer who develop brain metastasis, the therapeutic effect of the targeted therapy drugs used by Western medicine is often closely related to the type of drug and the type of disease.
Lung cancer can usually be divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Among them, non-small cell lung cancer is usually accompanied by gene mutations, and the more common type is EGFR mutation. Targeted drugs are small molecule compounds that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and then can control the primary lesions and brain metastases in the patient, and then can have a good therapeutic effect. At the same time, most targeted drugs can promote radiotherapy sensitization. Therefore, if targeted therapy is used in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, better results can often be achieved.
It should be noted that the treatment effects of hospitals at different levels are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with lung cancer that have brain metastases should go to a local regular tertiary hospital for treatment to ensure that they can achieve better treatment results.
