    Breast cancer is the most common type among women and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nutritional risk factors associated with this condition include excess weight and abdominal fat accumulation. Objective: To determine the nutritional, anthropometric, and biochemical status in pre-surgical adult women with breast cancer at a specialized institute - 2017. A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 215 women with pre-surgical breast cancer aged 19 to 59 years, evaluated from July to October 2017. Anthropometric and biochemical data were collected. The data were processed using SPSS version 22. Of the 215 women with breast cancer, 74.9% were in the 40 to 59-year age group. Of these, 68.3% had excess weight (40.9% overweight and 27.4% obese), and 90.7% had elevated waist circumference. In the biochemical measures, 32.2% had anemia, and 44.9% had some degree of immunosuppression. Conclusions: It is necessary to work more with this group of patients to improve their nutritional status through educational programs and individualized nutritional monitoring.
