Introduction: Regarding the prevalence and incidence of cancer has been increased, it is important to conduct studies that are better suited to this chronic and stressful disease. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between social support and quality of life in cancer patients.

Results: The mean and standard deviation of the patients presented in the study was 49.65±14.93. The results showed that social support had a significant relationship with physical (B = - 0.16), psychological (B = - 0.13), social (B = 0.29) and functional dimensions (B = 0.21) of quality of life.
Conclusion: Patients need the support of healthcare system, family, and their relatives. Social support provided by family and friends is an important factor in influencing the quality of life of cancer patients. As a result, this process will make the cancer patients better adapted.
