Start date: June 1, 2019

Diagnosing the nutritional status of cancer patients is extremely important. An appropriate nutritional status supports a better tolerance to the treatment.

This descriptive study will serve three aims: - Register in the cancer patient's electronic medical record their nutritional status at the admission and when the patient is discharged. - Determine the percentage of malnourished patients or in the risk of malnutrition who are admitted to hospitalization. - Recognize the number of patients that required specialized nutritional care. The purpose of this study is to determine if 30% of the patients admitted to the headquarters of SOLCA in Guayaquil from the Ecuadorian Cancer Society are at malnutrition risk or with any specific malnutrition level.
