Central nervous system efficacy of third generation vs. first generation EGFR-TKIs in the first line treatment for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer with central nervous system metastases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials
Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with central nervous system (CNS) metastases poses significant treatment challenges, as first-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (FGET) show limited CNS efficacy. Although third-generation EGFR-TKIs (TGET) exhibi...
