While evidence shows that cancer\u00a0survivors have menopause-related needs, these have not been synthesised. This systematic review aims to identify cancer\u00a0survivors\u2019 unmet needs in managing menopausal symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was registered with the Prospective Register for Systematic Reviews (CRD42024464668). We searched four databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL) for original qualitative or quantitative research published in English between 2013 and 2025,\u00a0and focusing on cancer survivors\u2019 unmet menopause-related needs. Manual searches of reference lists were also conducted. Quantitative studies were reported descriptively, while qualitative data was analysed using inductive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The search returned 8256 abstracts, of which, 20 studies (13 qualitative and 7 quantitative) met the inclusion criteria. Three key themes were identified regarding unmet needs: treatment, support, and information. Treatment needs involved survivors untreated, those finding treatment ineffective, and desire for more options. Between 26 and 80% were untreated or self-managing their symptoms, 15\u201376% found their\u00a0treatments ineffective, and 23\u201368% desired additional treatment. Support needs included inadequate support from healthcare professional. Some felt abandoned, their symptoms dismissed,\u00a0and therefore needed extra support in managing their symptoms. Gaps in access to information about cancer treatment-induced menopause and its management were identified. Most sought information from diverse sources; however, their needs were not fully met.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The review revealed unmet needs in treatment, support, and information for cancer survivors managing menopausal symptoms.
