Thank you for your feedback

Meningiomas are a heterogeneous group of tumours in terms of hormone receptor expression and location.
These tumours can sometimes grow in response to progesterone or oestrogen treatments.

There is no specific guidance on prescribing HRT to patients with meningioma.
A cautious approach is recommended, with advice sought from the patient’s neurology team. Each case should be taken on a case-by-case basis.
If HRT is prescribed, close monitoring of the meningioma size and activity might be recommended.
