Introduction: Treatment toxicity is often associated with anorexia and unintentional weight loss. Oral nutritional therapy (ONT) is a type of strategy carried out through oral nutritional supplements with the purpose of complementing nutritional needs, depending on the adherence to therapy, mainly. Objective: To analyze the perception and adherence of cancer patients to ONT and associate them with demographic factors. Method: Qualitative field study with patients diagnosed with any type of cancer, aged between 18 and 59 years, undergoing chemotherapy treatment, at nutritional risk, certified by a nutritional screening instrument and utilizing ONT. A single interview was carried out, mediated by a semi-structured questionnaire. The data were transcribed, classified and analyzed using the method suggested by Laurence Bardin. Results: The results revealed a diversity of responses, but there was a significant tendency to highlight difficulties in using and adherence, as well as emphasizing the importance of ONT. Among difficulties of adherence, financial difficulties were the most mentioned, followed by the sensory characteristics of the supplements and gastrointestinal changes such as nausea, vomiting, dysgeusia and inappetence. Conclusion: The perception of cancer patients about ONT interferes with adherence to therapy, and is influenced by education, guidance received by the prescribing professional, the sensory characteristics of the nutritional supplements used and the importance they attribute to therapy, in addition to socioeconomic conditions.
