In this article, we describe the newly formed Cochrane Neuro-Oncology webpage, which is a simple, fast source to find all Neuro- Oncology-related Cochrane Reviews. We describe where the reviews have been produced and identify areas where no high quality systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials exist. The Cochrane Collaboration is a world-wide, not-for-profit organisation which has information on > 0.6 million randomised controlled trials across all areas of healthcare. We describe the requirements for production of a Cochrane review, online help available, and personal support for prospective reviewers, available through the Cochrane Gynaecological and Orphan Cancer Review Group.
