Whether the will is valid or not has nothing to do with whether the testator is a terminal cancer patient. The key is to see whether the testator has full capacity for civil conduct. Even if the testator is a terminal cancer patient, if he has full capacity for civil conduct and the content of the will is the expression of his true meaning, then his will may be valid. It is possible to be valid because a will has legal effect only if it meets the statutory formal requirements and content requirements. Chinese laws have different requirements for the form of wills, including oral wills, self-written wills, printed wills, written wills, audio-visual wills and so on. And the content of the will also needs to be legal and valid, for example, the will is invalid because of disposing of other people's property. When the testator has full capacity for civil conduct, the content of the will is the expression of its true meaning, and the form and content of the will are in accordance with the law. Even if the testator is a terminal cancer patient, his will is still valid.

According to Article 134 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a self-written will is written by the testator, signed and marked with the year, month and day. Article 135 A will written by proxy shall be witnessed by two or more witnesses, one of whom shall write it by proxy, and shall be signed by the testator, agent and other witnesses, indicating the year, month and day. Article 136 A printed will shall be witnessed by two or more witnesses. The testator and the witness shall sign on each page of the will and indicate the year, month and day. Article 137 If a will is made in the form of audio and video recording, two or more witnesses shall be present to witness it. The testator and the witness shall record their names or portraits, as well as the year, month and day by audio and video recording. Article 138 A testator may make an oral will in an emergency.

Article 143 A will made by a person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct is invalid. A will must express the true meaning of the testator, and a will made by fraud or coercion is invalid. Forged wills are invalid. If the will is tampered with, the tampered contents are invalid.
