Results indicated that Silver lining and Trait hope was a significant predictor in Quality of Life in Cancer Patients. Through the Clinical viewpoints, patients with cancer are predisposed to some psychiatric symptoms and mental disorders due to their life styles or disease conditions. These problems cause patients to deal with daily stress, feeling guilty, anxiety, dysphoric mood, and impaired social relations. The cancer patients under therapy experience complications like anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life (Moghimi et al, 2014)
