摘要

Purpose of Review

Cancer care for women is nuanced, and this is particularly true for neuro-oncology of women (NOW). A subset of women who require even more specialized care are those of reproductive age. The purpose of this review is to streamline guideline-directed care for women with gliomas, specifically those of childbearing potential.

Recent Findings

No central resource for management of glioma in women exists, and previous studies show that clinicians do not always adhere to guideline-directed care of these patients and significant care gaps exist for NOW patients.

Summary

 NOW patients have special considerations in their cancer care including but not limited to pregnancy planning, chemotherapy counseling, management of epilepsy, fertility, and sexual well-being.
