N2  - INTRODUCTION: Malnutrition is a clinical process that begins with a deficiency in immune system of human metabolism and dispreads through systematic inflammation.. We have planned a nutritional condition scanning with a simple scanning questionnaire for the patients who are diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer. METHODS: 52 voluntary patients were included in the research. Patients are the patients who had just received the diagnosis of gastrointestinal system cancer. Patients who had received neoadjuvant treatment, who had had a tumor operation and who has another type of cancer were excluded from the study. MNA-SF forms were applied to the patients, and their body mass indexes (BMI), were recorded.RESULTS: When phases of the patients were taken into consideration, rates of illnesses with the risk of malnutrition at the time of diagnosis were 50% for first phase, 77,8% for second phase, 72% for third phase and 100% for fourth phase, and there is not any statistical significance. When we take a look at the comparison between BMI and malnutrition rates, patients who are under the risk of malnutrition; it is designated as 100% for weak patients, 75% for normal patients, 76,2% for over-weight patients and 50% for obese patients, and there is not any statistical significance (p: 0,222).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Gastrointestinal system cancers are the cancers that are observed very frequently among the society. As soon as diagnosis was received by the patient, their nutritional conditions shall be evaluated with nutritional scanning and most appropriate nutritional support shall be provided for those patients.
