To assess the relationship between nutritional status and inflammatory markers of breast cancer patients, and to identify predictors of malnutrition in these patients. This is a cross-sectional study of 45 patients with breast cancer assessed between January and June 2018. Nutritional status was evaluated by objective and subjective methods. The inflammatory markers and inflammation-based scores evaluated were C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), CRP/albumin ratio, and Albumin/CRP ratio. A total of 45 patients were evaluated. Majority of the patients have high levels of both CRP and ESR (73.3% and 86.7% respectively). More than 70% of the patients were well nourished. There was no significant association between CRP ( P  = 0.067), ESR ( P  = 0.094) and SGA (Subjective Global Assessment) categories. Albumin ( P  &lt; 0.001), Albumin/CRP ratio ( P  = 0.002), CRP/albumin ratio ( P  = &lt; 0.001), and GPS ( P  &lt; 0.001) were significantly associated with SGA categories. On multivariate analysis, albumin ( P  &lt; 0.001), Albumin/CRP ratio ( P  = 0.004), CRP/albumin ratio ( P  = 0.009), GPS ( P  = 0.01), and ECOG ( P  = 0.009) were the only markers independently related to malnutrition. The inflammation-based scores were significantly associated with malnutrition and can be used as biochemical nutritional assessment tools in cancer patients.
