Fourteen studies identified statistically significant improvements in symptom severity and clinical outcomes comparable to those of CAU. The stepped-care group showed reduced mean severity scores for distress, insomnia, and fatigue, as well as improved stress reactions and emotional reactivity, and fewer palliative care visits. The low uptake of the intervention and inadequate assessment of comorbid symptoms have hindered the ability to draw conclusive recommendations across several studies. Four\u00a0studies evaulated the\u00a0cost-effectiveness of stepped-care interventions compared to CAU. Two of these studies reported significant\u00a0cost savings of\u00a0approximately \u20ac19\u00a0991 for each point improvement on the distress scale and lower incremental costs of approximately \u20ac3950 associated with stepped-care interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review highlights the potential clinical and economic benefits of implementing stepped-care interventions to reduce the severity of cancer-related symptoms.
