The purpose of this study was to understand the impact on quality of life including among cancer patients' democrate data, uncertainty, symptom distress and social support. By means of cross-sectional study and purposive sampling, the researcher chose 100 cancer patients in an eastern medical center and a northeast regional hospital. There were 100 cancer patients classified into 2 groups with data obtained by indepth interview and questionnaire, and analysis by SPSS for Window 10.0. In addition, the overall uncertainty showed negative correlation with quality of life, the symptom distress showed negative correlation with quality of life, and the social support showed positive correlation with quality of life. Uncertainty, symptom distress, social support, occupation, economic resource and marital status showed predictive important variables for quality of life, which could explain 48.3% of the whole variance. Using hierachical multiple regression, and controlling the six variances, ”pain” could explain 14% of quality of life.
