    The nutritional status of cancer patients is a key factor for treatment success. The objective of this study was to determine the chemotherapy toxicity and nutritional status in ambulatory cancer patients diagnosed with breast cancer at a public hospital in Concepción, Junín, during 2021–2022. An inductive methodology with a non-experimental, descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional design was applied. Information was collected from 37 medical records that met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that 100% of patients were female, with the most frequent age group being 60–69 years (29.73%), clinical stage III B (40.54%), and SIS affiliation (97.30%). Chemotherapy toxicity was observed in 91.89% of patients, with digestive toxicity being the most prevalent (48.65%), followed by hematologic (16.22%) and hepatic (5.41%); in addition, 21.62% presented more than two types of toxicity. Regarding nutritional status, 37.85% were overweight according to BMI, while 78.37% showed good nutritional status based on percentage of weight loss. Digestive toxicity was associated with patients in normal nutritional status by BMI (18.92%) and in good nutritional status by percentage of weight loss (43.24%). In conclusion, chemotherapy toxicity was observed in 35.14% of overweight patients and in 72.97% of those with good nutritional status.
