Cervical cancer represents the second cause of death in women in Mexico. Concomitant chemoradiotherapy presents several clinical conditions that affect the nutritional status of these patients. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive, longitudinal and observational study, in which 5-years histories were reviewed, and nutritional status was evaluated in patients with cervical cancer taking into account the following variables: weight, body mass index, albumin, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, and total proteins at the beginning and at the end of treatment. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program, using Student’s t-test for quantitative variables. The statistical significance was taken as p ≤ 0.05. Results: A total of 200 patients were included, 170 were beneficiaries of the Seguro Popular (SP) and 30 patients entitled Instituto de Salud del Estado de México y Municipios (ISSEMyM). It was observed that in both groups there is a significant weight loss, being the absolute difference in the ISSEMyM group of 3.0934 kg while in the SP group was 3.6583 kg. Discussion: Patients of Seguro Popular experienced a severe weight loss (> 5%) in one month (p ≤ 0.05), not being so in the ISSEMyM patients, where the weight loss was less than 5% in a month. Values of hemoglobin, lymphocytes, albumin and total proteins were not statistically significant differents between both groups. Conclusions: Nutritional therapy in this group of patients should be obligatory. As demonstrated in this study, weight loss is lower in patients who receive it.
