Abstract
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are present in 10-60% of all non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and are associated with dismal prognosis. Lung cancer brain metastases (LCBM) are a common complication of lung cancer. Predictions of EGFR can help physicians in decision-making and, through optimizing treatment strategies, can result in more favorable outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the predictive performance of machine learning (ML)-based models in EGFR status in NSCLC patients with brain metastasis.
