A Real-World Evaluation of Brain Imaging in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Insights from a German Claims Data Analysis
Our study provides valuable insights into the routine practice of brain imaging in NSCLC patients in Germany. Our findings align with published evidence regarding incidence rates and mortality, again emphasising the prognostic relevance of brain metastases. Therefore, brain imaging at diagnosis should be used more commonly to detect brain metastases early on, which appeared insufficiently used in routine practice.
