Brain Metastases
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the survival benefit of local therapy combination with target therapy in lung cancer brain metastases with EGFR mutation. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is local therapy performed before or after target therapy would provide survival benefit ? * What kind of local therapy combining with target therapy would provide survival benefit, neurosurgical resection or radiotherapy?
Interventions
Participants who underwent target therapy and surgery or radiotherapy were divided into target therapy + local therapy group. Participants who underwent target therapy alone were divided into target therapy alone group
Participants who underwent surgery or radiotherapy before target therapy were divided into local therapy before target therapy group. Participants who underwent surgery or radiotherapy after target therapy were divided into local therapy after target therapy group.
