Introduction: Up to 30% of cancer cases are linked to food. As part of their self-care practice, cancer survivors should eat a healthy diet. This study aimed to describe the changes in diet habits made between the first and second cancer diagnosis, as well as to learn more about cancer causes. Materials and Methods: A random sample proportion was used with 195 patients who responded to a survey in 2019 related to the object of study. For data analysis, statistical correspondence factorial analysis, cluster analysis and frequency distribution were carried out. Results: Health was the main reason for changing eating habits, followed by factors associated with cancer treatment. Patients reduced their consumption of fatty meats, fried foods, alcohol, snacks, cold cuts, and dairy products, while increased their fruit and vegetable intake. Discussion: After a second cancer diagnosis, participants reported favorable changes in improving their health based on the recommendations of international organizations. Health status and cancer treatment were conditions that most influenced cancer survivors to change diet habits in the face of a new diagnosis or relapse. Conclusion: Patients with cancer recurrence decide to change their eating habits to have a healthier life. Adequate nutrition should be promoted among the general population and even more in cancer survivors.
