    Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) significantly worsens prognosis and quality of life.

  • 2

    Aumolertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, shows promise in treating EGFR-mutated NSCLC with LM due to its enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration.

  • 3

    In a retrospective study, 79 patients treated with aumolertinib demonstrated improved median progression-free survival compared to first-generation EGFR-TKIs.

  • 4

    The study found aumolertinib treatment resulted in a median overall survival of 26.6 months, indicating its potential effectiveness in this patient population.

  • 5

    Real-world evidence on aumolertinib's efficacy in EGFR-mutated NSCLC with LM is limited, highlighting the need for further research.
