Aim: To evaluate the real-world impact of brain metastases (BM) among patients with EGFR mutation-positive ( EGFRm) metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials & methods: This retrospective, observational matched cohort electronic health record study assessed adults with EGFRm metastatic NSCLC with/without BM. Results: Among 402 patients split equally between both cohorts (±BM), the majority were Caucasian (69%), female (65%) and with adenocarcinoma (92%). Overall symptom burden and ancillary support service use were higher and median overall survival from metastatic diagnosis was significantly shorter in BM patients (11.9 vs 16 months; p = 0.017). Conclusion: BM in EGFRm NSCLC patients can negatively impact clinical outcomes. New targeted therapies that can penetrate the blood–brain barrier should be considered for treating these patients.
