It is known that dietary consumption directly influences the nutritional status and prognosis of cancer patients as well as it is influenced by several factors associated with the disease and its treatment. Purpose: To evaluate the protein­energy intake and nutritional status of patients with GIT cancer treated at a Hospital Unit in Belém­PA. Method: A quantitative, cross­sectional, descriptive study with adult and elderly patients with GIT neoplasms under antineoplastic treatment. The 24­hour recall was used to evaluate protein­energy intake, Body Mass Index (BMI), Arm Circumference (AC), Tricipital Skin Fold (TSF), Weight Loss Percentage (WL%) and Subjective Global Assessment Produced by the Patient (ASG­PPP) to assess the nutritional status. Results: Of the total of 36 patients, 61.1% were men. The most prevalent tumor site was the stomach (63.9%). A significant percentage of the evaluated patients presented some degree of malnutrition according to BMI (30.6%), CB (65.5%), PCT (86.2%) and ASG­PPP (76%). In addition, 77.8% presented significant or severe weight loss. The majority of the patients had energy (77.8%) and protein (58.3%) consumption less than the recommended, even those who were eutrophic and overweight (according to BMI, 80% for energy and 60% for protein). Conclusion: The results showed that the majority of the evaluated patients with GIT cancer presented some degree of malnutrition, besides low energy and protein consumption independent of the nutritional status.Acesso AbertoCâncerConsumo alimentarEstado nutricionalCâncerFood consumptionNutritional statusCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
