Abstract
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.
