Establishment of an Adjusted Prognosis Analysis Model for Initially Diagnosed NoneSmall- Cell Lung Cancer With Brain Metastases From Sun Yat- Sen University Cancer Center

摘要

Current prognosis models for brain metastases (BMs) have not addressed the issue of either newly diagnosed nonesmall-cell lung cancer with BMs or the lung cancer genotype. Using the data from 1158 patients, we built a new prognosis model for initially diagnosed nonesmall-cell lung cancer with BMs. Our model includes the epidermal growth factor receptor genotype as an important prognostic factor for the first time and shows superiority for predicting patient prognosis.
