The role of the blood-brain barrier in lung cancer treatment

Some types of cancer, such as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), frequently spread into the brain and central nervous system. A key challenge in treating these brain metastases is the blood-brain barrier, which guards the brain against the entry of certain molecules. Learn why crossing the blood-brain barrier is important in overcoming certain cancers.
