Breast cancer is a disease that is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells. Most cancers form a mass called a tumor. This alteration makes it difficult for the body to function properly. Breast cancer can start in different parts of the breast: there are ductal, lobular and other less common cancers such as phyllodes and angiosarcoma. The search was carried out in a systematic computerized way in the search engines ELSEVIER, PUBMED, HINARI, COCHRANE, SCIELO, GOOGLE ACADÉMICO, DIMENSION, SCIENCEDIRECT, where the key words used in the search were dietary intake, changes in intake, perception of foods, chemotherapy and breast cancer. Types of study were included: clinical trials, cohorts and cases and controls, patients over 18 years of age, of both genders, with breast cancer, with chemotherapy treatment were included. The results that were measured: the side effects of chemotherapy can affect food intake in both quality and quality, finding that there are significant changes in protein foods (P <0.001), fat (P <0.001), MUFA (P <0.001), phosphorus (P <0.001), sodium (P <0.001) and tryptophan. Likewise, it was found that the majority of patients experience nausea, vomiting, changes in taste and smell, which causes a reduction in food intake. It was concluded that chemotherapy has negative effects that harm the quality of life and health status of patients.
