Abstract
It is paramount to emphasize the importance of an adequate
nutritional approach, in patients with breast cancer in order to achieve expected
results. Patients with this pathology present different complications that affect
their treatment, especially when they have metabolic changes that prevent them
from complying with nutritional recommendations. That is why early nutritional
assessment and education are of great value to improve quality of life. Likewise,
it is essential to maintain adequate adherence to treatment, since this is
effective in preventing nutritional complications acquired during treatment, such
as malnutrition. Objective: To analyze the information regarding the nutritional
approach in people with breast cancer. Methodology: Explanatory study based
on systematic research using information from scientific databases and
specialized journals. An exhaustive analysis was carried out with topics relate d
to nutritional approach and breast cancer. Results: The prevalence of breast
cancer has been increasing in recent years by 47%. One of the main side
effects are diarrhea, vomiting, nutritional and gastrointestinal complications,
thus increasing the nutritional needs of these patients. Conclusion: It was
found that the nutritional needs of breast cancer patients change significantly;
therefore, a correct nutritional management based on diet therapy is valuable,
such as modifications in the usual diet, avoiding sedentary lifestyle, increasing
the consumption of fruits and vegetables, avoiding the consumption of fried or
very copious foods, and when oral food consumption is unable to meet the
needs of these patients, it is essential to opt for the consumption of a nutritional
supplement
