The hypothesis in this study is that there is a negative relationship between the meaning of life and death anxiety. The subjects used in this study were 72 cancer patients. The measuring instrument used in this research is the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) which was modified by Hapsari (2015) and Meaning In Life Questionnaire (MLQ) by Steger (2006). The results showed that there was a negative relationship between the meaning of life and death anxiety in cancer patients (r = -0.786; p = 0.000)
