ABSTRACT
<b>Purpose:
</b>A report of effective occupational therapy for delirium patients with cancer is uncommon. We report a patient of carcinomatous meningitis, in whom her daily activity is improved by occupational therapy. <b>Case </b>Firstly, we supported her meals and then started occupational therapy accepting her interest. Although degree of confusion and her performance status was not varied from beginning to end, she could concentrate our programmed works and change her way of feelings. Also occupational therapy promotes reminiscence about her life review and friendship among other patients even in delirium condition. <b>Conclusion:
</b>Occupational therapy can reduce cancer patients' impatience, anxiety and solitary feelings and improve quality of life.
