Brief Summary

Diagnosing the nutritional status of cancer patients is extremely important. An appropriate nutritional status supports a better tolerance to the treatment. A working protocol is essential to start with Nutritional Screening. If it is detected Malnutrition Risk or Malnutrition, diet counseling, and the specific therapeutic for each patient must be provided. 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.
