Abstract: The incidence of brain metastases in advanced lung cancer is high and the prognosis is poor.In recent years,with the development of overall treatment for lung cancer,more treatments and expectations have been provided for advanced lung cancer with brain metastases.Current clinical studies suggest that antiangiogenic drugs play an important role in the treatment of lung cancer with brain metastasis including from monoclonal antibody to multi-target antiangiogenic drugs and then to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI).These drugs have shown a certain efficacy and good safety,and they also show a significantly synergistic anti-tumor effect on chemotherapy,radiotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor TKI(EGFR-TKI).This article reviews the new progress of anti-angiogenic drugs in the treatment of lung cancer with brain metastases.

Key words: Antiangiogenesis, Lung cancer, Brain metastases
