[Analysis of prognostic factors in NSCLC patients with brain metastases diagnosed by constrast-enhanced MRI after whole brain radiotherapy].
Brain metastases are a common complication of lung cancer, occurring in 20%-40% of patients. The aim of this study is to explore prognostic factors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with brain metastases diagnosed by constrast-enhanced MRI after whole brain radiotherapy. ⋯ Gender, local tumor controlled, and combined target therapy significantly influenced NSCLC brain metastases diagnosed by constrast-enchanced MRI survival after whole brain radiotherapy.eciated patient subsets and is a useful method for dissecting complex clinical situations. Moreover, CART can be used to identify homogeneous patient populations in clinical practice and future clinical trials.
