Introduction: Cancer patients tend to lose weight and energy-protein malnutrition because of the changes the organism undergoes caused by the progression of the disease and treatment-related adverse effects that contribute for the reduction of food intake. Objective: To identify scientific literature-based evidences on food intake of women with gynecological tumors undergoing cancer treatment. Method: Integrative literature review through searches at the Embase, MEDLINE and LILACS databases with the association of descriptive terms and free words. Observational studies in Portuguese, English and Spanish that evaluated the food intake of this population were included in the analyzes. Results: This review identified 6 studies that investigated the change in food intake of women with gynecological cancer undergoing cancer treatment. A reduction in intake was identified in until 31% of energy, 39.9% of proteins, 33.7% of lipids, 28.7% of carbohydrates and inadequate intake of certain micronutrients. Conclusion: Women with gynecological tumors during cancer treatment present significant reduction of energy, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and micronutrients intake. Considering that weight loss and malnutrition in cancer patients are associated with negative clinical outcomes, the evaluation and analysis of the food intake of this population individuals is essential for early nutritional intervention, good response to treatment and improvement of the quality of life.
