Driver genes as predictive indicators of brain metastasis in patients with advanced NSCLC: EGFR, ALK, and RET gene mutations

ConclusionsAn EGFR mutation, ALK gene fusion, and RET gene fusion in advanced NSCLC patients play roles in brain metastasis as positive driver genes.ImpactAn EGFR mutation, and ALK and RET gene fusions are risk factors for brain metastasis in advanced NSCLC patients.
