Brain metastases occur in 30-50% of patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Pyrotinib is an irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/HER1, HER2, and HER4. This study consists of two parts. In a phase Ib part, investigators will explore the safety and tolerance of Pyrotinib Plus Capecitabine combined with brain radiotherapy. After completing the phase Ib part, investigators will review the data and decide whether this patient is included in before the start of a phase II part. In the phase II part, investigators will evaluate the efficacy of Pyrotinib Plus Capecitabine combined with brain radiotherapy in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases.

Assess safety and tolerability of Pyrotinib Plus Capecitabine combined with brain radiotherapy(Phase Ib part)
AEs will be assessed according to CTCAE version 4.03. (1)Initially 3 patients will be accrued and treated with combined therapy as a lead-in safety phase. Enrollment of the study will not proceed if patients in the safety lead-in phase experience unacceptable toxicities including neurologic, hematologic and other dose limiting toxicities.(see protocol) (b)If one of initially 3 patients has experienced unacceptable toxicities, 3 more patients will be accrued . (3)If two or more patients are unable to complete radiation therapy (RT) due to toxicity related to Pyrotinib Plus Capecitabine combined with brain radiotherapy, accrual will be suspended and the study will be stopped. (4) If 3+3 patients are able to complete the treatment without unacceptable toxicities, 6 more patients will be accrued in Ib part.
