Icotinib combined whole brain radiotherapy for patients with brain metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma harboring epidermal growth factor receptor mutation

Abstract: Background: The brain is a metastatic organ that is most prone to lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). However, the prognosis of patients with brain metastasis remains very poor. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of icotinib plus whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for treating patients with brain metastasis from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated LAC. Methods: All patients received standard WBRT administered to the whole brain in 30 Gy in 10 daily fractions. Each patient was also instructed to take… Show more

“…Several researches have clarified that NSCLC patients harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R can benefit from icotinib and osimertinib. 26,27 In this study, 38.82% of MM patients bearing EGFR mutations in the 18-21 exon region, among which exon 19 deletion and L858R accounted for 62.5% of all EGFR mutations. The lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring sensitive EGFR mutations benefit from EGFR-TKI drugs.…”

“…EGFR inhibitors can reduce the radiation resistance of EGFR mutant tumor cells by reducing DNA repair, proliferation and anti-apoptosis, thereby promoting the curative effect of chemotherapy. [22] As the first EGFR-TKI in China, icotinib shows good anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. [23] Shortly speaking, icotinib can bind to adenosine triphosphate binding site of EGFR, inhibit EGFR activation, block downstream signal transmission, and then inhibit tumor proliferation and migration, and induce tumor apoptosis and other biological effects.…”

“…A study by Li et al et al 2016) aimed to explore the e cacy and safety of icotinib combined with WBRT in treatment of EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma with brain metastatic (BMS). A total of 43 patients were included, all of whom received standard WBRT (3Gy per day, 5 times per week, 30Gy in total) with synchronous icotinib.…”
