Introduction: The incidence and prevalence of gynecological cancer in our country continues to grow and with it malnutrition and its complications, the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a tool that identifies patients at risk of malnutrition/moderate malnutrition and severe malnutrition (Category B/C) that requires nutritional intervention. Objective: To determine the of malnutrition in patients newly diagnosed with gynecological cancer. Material and method: Cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive, correlational study that included 64 patients >20 years newly diagnosed with cervical cancer (CaCu), endometrium (CaE), ovary (CaO) and vulvar (CaV), without treatment. We evaluated PG-SGA, albumin, % weight loss (%PP). Data collected in Excel 2011 and analyzed in IBM Statistics 23. Results: PG-SGA reported 25% of patients in (Category B) and 29.7% (Category C). BMI identified 6.3% with malnutrition. The percentage PP in 1 and 6 months was higher in Category B/C (p 0.000), the PG-SGA in category B and C presented greater correlation with increase of %PP, decreased albumin and symptomatology in the oncological patient. Conclusions: The PG-SGA reported 29.7% in malnutrition while the BMI reported 6.3%, this tool identifies patients with gynecological cancer at risk of malnutrition and/or malnutrition (54.68%) who require nutritional intervention.
