Objective: To propose a nutritional support follow-up protocol for the hospitalised adult oncology patient. Methods: The methodology used for the development of this work was the non-formal consensus of experts, taking into account the following steps: a) selection of the panel of experts, b) defining the scope of the protocol, c) search and selection of literature, d) selection of indicators of nutritional monitoring, e) development of a proposal, and f) discussion of results with the panel of experts. Results: The nutritional support follow-up protocol was developed by implementing the methodology, which includes five major groups of indicators: a) nutrition, b) anthropometric, c) gastrointestinal tolerance, d) pathways and clinical condition, and e) laboratory tests. Conclusion: Important agreements were achieved by the present non-formal consensus in order to propose a nutritional support follow-up protocol of the hospitalised adult oncology. In addition, the adoption of this proposed protocol will help to decrease variability in institutional clinical practice, leading to a proper nutritional support in cancer patients requiring specialised nutritional support.
