Abstract: Introduction, in recent years, much progress has been made in cancer nutrition research on intermittent fast feeding patterns. The methodology for implementing this type of nutritional guideline requires professionals such as dietitians-nutritionists and, hopefully, when applied to oncological patients, we will observe an overall improvement in their quality of life and improve the efficacy of the treatment they have prescribed. Objective, improving the health-related quality of life of cancer patients by applying intermittent fasting as a possible new treatment regimen for cancer. Methodology, intervention design, prospective, non-randomized, with controls (cancer patients diagnosed with breast cancer with a feeding plan that includes intermittent fasting and cancer patients without such an intermittent fasting feeding plan). Conclusions, the incorporation of the figure of the Dietitian-Nutritionist within the multidisciplinary teams that treat cancer, would reduce health costs for nutritional problems in this type of patients; in patients diagnosed with breast cancer, intermittent fasting could improve their quality of life; patients diagnosed with breast cancer on an intermittent fasting regimen would benefit from cancer treatment.
