Objective. Understand the perspective of patients in relation to the current way of obtaining an appointment in primary health care. Methods. A bibliography search was performed in the online databases in Spanish and English. The main source was sought by reviewing the bibliographical references of the publications. Results. It was found that the shift to virtuality has made it easier for users to access a primary health care appointment, reducing waiting time and paving the way for non-face-to-face care; the level of user satisfaction has increased positively. Conclusions. Phone and virtual requests are here to stay; these are not intended to replace face-to-face requests, but they are a necessary tool to improve the quality of care for users.

If nothing is done about it, cancer incidence and mortality in South and Central America will continue to rise sharply between 2012 and 2035 (2). It is expected that by 2030 the incidence of cancer will increase by 32%, reaching 5 million cases per year (1). At the level of Latin America, health policies have been implemented, where they prioritize the feeding of these patients to reduce the sequelae that the treatments can cause, obtaining optimal results (3). It is in this context that the effects of cancer and its treatment make it difficult to meet the nutritional requirements of patients. Chemotherapy is the most widely used medical treatment for cancer in the world. Knowing that cancer cells tend to grow and divide faster than normal cells, thi...
