RTHK gathers Hong Kong World Liver Cancer Awareness Month. If your liver is healthy, you know Dr. Li Yu Chung, Jacky

Hello doctor, my family member has stage 4 EGFR lung cancer and has been taking the first-generation targeted drug IRESSA for a year and a half. However, a brain MRI last month revealed brain metastases (approximately 7mm). The doctor recommended local radiotherapy. I would like to ask what options are available for radiotherapy in a public hospital? The doctor said it wouldn't be Gamma Knife, but rather a similar 3D radiotherapy technology. I would like to ask if you know what type of radiotherapy is commonly used in public hospitals nowadays? Are the side effects minimal? What is the recurrence rate after local radiotherapy? We are also waiting for blood test results to check for T790M lesions. If present, we can switch to third-generation targeted therapy, but we are worried that the T790M lesion might not be detected. How accurate are blood tests nowadays? If the T790M lesion is not detected, is it worthwhile to have a tissue sample taken for testing, and how much difference in accuracy is there between the two methods? Thank you very much.
