Abstract
Abstract Background Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors are rare malignancies with limited treatment options, resulting in high mortality. Unlike other solid tumors, CNS tumors present unique challenges that impact the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients and caregivers. Effective management requires balancing oncologic treatment with the control of neurocognitive deficits, epilepsy, and other neurological symptoms. Methods The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) CNS Faculty conducted a consensus process to identify the most pressing educational priorities for physicians managing CNS malignancies. This process involved structured data collection and expert input to determine critical areas for disease-specific education and training. Results The consensus process highlighted key educational gaps in managing CNS tumors, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to optimize therapeutic strategies, improve survival outcomes, enhance HRQoL during treatment and survivorship, and facilitate access to emerging therapies. Physicians reported that comprehensive, disease-specific education is essential to address these challenges effectively. Conclusion CNS tumors require targeted educational initiatives to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills necessary for optimal patient care. The ESMO CNS Faculty consensus underscores the importance of structured, disease-specific training to improve outcomes, support HRQoL, and advance oncology education in the management of CNS malignancies.
