Abstract: The occurrence of brain metastases in lung cancer affects the prognosis of patients. Following surgery, whole brain radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy and chemotherapy, antiangiogenesis therapy has become a new treatment option for lung cancer patients with brain metastases. As an antiangiogenic drug, bevacizumab has a better effect of controlling peritumoral edema. Studies have shown that bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy to treat nonsmall cell lung cancer with brain metastasis has a good efficacy and safety.

Key words: Carcinoma, non-small cell lung, Neoplasm metastases, Bevacizumab
