Semin Oncol Nurs . 2025 Aug The Cost-Effectiveness of Nursing Interventions in Cancer Care: Systematic Review

This systematic review investigates how specialized nursing interventionsinfluence the financial landscape of oncology, specifically focusing on whether these practices offer a cost-effective approach to treatment. By analyzing twenty-four clinical trials conducted over the last two decades, researchers found that nurse-led initiatives—such as home visits and telephone follow-ups—frequently lead to a reduction in overall healthcare spending. The findings suggest that nurses are vital to resource management, providing a practical solution to the rising global costs of cancer therapy. Ultimately, the study serves as a call for clinicians to provide evidence-based results that justify the integration of nursing expertise into formal healthcare policy and decision-making.
