    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the administration of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing the adverse effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study is quantitative, with a systematic, observational and retrospective review design; of articles with full text, which identified their grade or quality of evidence according to the Grade System. Likewise, the population was made up of 10 most relevant scientific articles that were obtained from the following databases Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Dialnet, Scielo, and Lilacs. Of which 70% correspond to the methodological design of systematic review and 30% to randomized clinical trials, corresponding to the countries of the United States 20% (02/10), Holland 10% (01/10), Iran 10% (01 /10), Portugal 10% (01/10), Italy 10% (01/10), Colombia 10% (01/10), South Korea 10% (01/10), Mexico 10% (01/10), and Spain 10% (01/10). Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, (10/10), 100% demonstrate effectiveness of the administration of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing the adverse effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. Conclusions: 10 of 10 reviewed articles demonstrate evidence of the effectiveness of the administration of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing the adverse effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients; That is, evidence suggests a role for omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in cancer treatment, but they have been shown to preserve muscle mass and function in cancer patients.
