Sumario: | Brain metastases in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer carry a grave prognosis. Without effective interventions, the average survival rate is 6 months. Here, we present a case of a 59-year-old male with non-small cell lung cancer and multiple brain metastases treated with radiotherapy followed by bevacizumab maintenance with prolonged survival. There are limited studies establishing the efficiency and toxicity profile of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors for brain metastases. This reported case had a remarkable response with marked clinical and radiological improvement along with a tolerable toxicity profile. Showing the extent of effectiveness and efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents in the case of lung cancer with brain metastases is the main motto of our study. |
