Rehabilitation of reproductive function in cancer patients is a complex and steadily growing problem of modern medicine. If clinical recommendations have been developed and patient management tactics determined for some cancers that are most commonly encountered in reproductive-aged women in a number of countries, the presence of a brain tumor is the most unresolved problem in the context of the possibilities of preserving and rehabilitating the reproductive function of patients, which necessitates a thorough study of the problem and a search for methods for its solution.
