The computer software SPSS 13 was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, spearman correlation and multiple linear regression tests were used.Results: Findings showed that more than half of the patients (56.4%) had experienced a moderately good QUALITY OF LIFE, and most of them perceived moderate social support from their middle-sized SOCIAL NETWORKs. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between QUALITY OF LIFE and PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT (rs=0.415, P=0.00), particularly support from spouses and family members. Also, there was statistically significant positive correlation between QUALITY OF LIFE and size of SOCIAL NETWORK (rs=0.245, P=0.00). Multiple linear regression test showed that 31.6% of variation in the QUALITY OF LIFE was related to PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT, type of treatment and economic status. Conclusion: Oncology nurses are recommended to apply the finding for enhancing the SOCIAL NETWORKs of CANCER PATIENTS and give them suitable support. Study results demonstrated that PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT, type of treatment and economic status accounted for 31/6% of variations of QUALITY OF LIFE and a large amount of variance remains unexplained, so further researches is needed.
