It may be associated with an increase in cancer recurrence of between 35 and 40% with worse survival results, especially in those with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Therefore, this study aims to determine the association between nutritional status and survival in women with BC at a Peruvian Specialized Oncology Institute.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort involves a sample of 195 breast cancer patients whose medical records were obtained from 2017.
