      Background:
      Approximately 20-40% of non–small–cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients develop brain metastasis (BM) and the survival is very poor with a median overall survival of 4-6 months following whole brain radiotherapy treatment. Recent studies have shown that oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were effective for the treatment of BM from NSCLC with EGFR mutation. However, the relationship between EGFR mutations and prognosis of NSCLC patients with BM remains to be determined. In this study, we investigated the impact of EGFR mutation status on the survival of BM patients from NSCLC

      Methods:
      730 NSCLC patients were retrospectively reviewed. 136 patients had developed BM during their course of disease. 33 of these 136 BM patients (24.3%) were confirmed to have exon 19 deletions, while 33 had exon 21 point mutation (L858R) (24.3%). Overall survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze the impact of pretreatment and treatment variables on survival.

      Results:
      The median survival of NSCLC with BM was 8 months. Log-rank test analysis showed that ECOG PS at BM (p=0.000), control of primary tumor (p=0.005), pathology (p=0.01), EGFR mutations (p=0.045) and 19 exon deletion (p=0.007) were associated with a longer survival. In Cox proportional hazards model, EGFR exon 19 deletion (HR=0.558, 95%CI=0.325-0.957, p=0.034), control of primary tumor (HR=2.033, 95%CI=1.098-3.766, p=0.024), and ECOG PS at BM (HR=2.033,95%CI=1.145-1.287, p=0.006) were found to be independent prognostic factors. Moreover, there were significantly differences in the survival between different groups according to RTOG recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) classification system in this cohort of patients (p=0.000)

      Conclusion:
      Exon 19 deletion is an independent prognostic factor in BM from NSCLC. Our findings suggest that the status of exon 19 deletion may be integrated into the prognostic scoring classification system for NSCLC.
