CANCER – Excluding Less Advanced Cases .

Any malignant tumour positively diagnosed with histological confirmation and characterised by the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells and invasion of tissue. The term malignant tumour includes leukaemia, sarcoma and lymphoma except cutaneous lymphoma (lymphoma confined to the skin). For the above definition, the following are not covered: All cancers which are histologically classified as any of the following:• pre-malignant;• non-invasive;• cancer in situ;• having either borderline malignancy; or having low malignant potential.• All tumours of the prostate unless histologically classified as having a Gleason score of 7 or above or having progressed to at least clinical TNM classification T2bN0M0.• Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia unless histologically classified as having progressed to at least Binet Stage A.• Any skin cancer other than malignant melanoma that has been histologically classified as having caused invasion beyond the epidermis (outer layer of skin).The term ‘cancer’ is used to refer to all types of malignant tumours. A malignant tumour usually grows quickly, often invades surrounding tissue as it expands, and can spread via the bloodstream or lymphatic system to form more growths in other parts of the body. A claim can be made if the Life Insured is diagnosed as suffering from a malignant tumour that has invaded surrounding tissue, unless the type of cancer is specifically excluded. Your claim must be supported by a microscopic examination of a sample of the relevant cells. This is known as a ‘histology’ and would usually be carried out as part of a normal hospital investigation. All forms of lymphoma (a cancer of the lymphatic system), including non-Hodgkin’s disease are covered. Malignant melanoma (a serious form of skin cancer) is the only form of skin cancer that is covered. This is because most other forms of skin cancer are relatively easy to treat and are rarely life threatening. This definition does not cover  ‘non-invasive cancer’ or ‘cancer in situ’, which means that the cancer is in its early stages and has not spread to neighbouring tissue or is of a type that is contained and will not tend to spread. As these cancers have been detected at an early stage, they are unlikely to be life threatening.
