Can I get life insurance if I’ve had cancer?
Yes, it’s often possible to get life insurance after having cancer, especially if you’re in remission—but it depends on several factors.
Insurers typically look at things like:
- The type and stage of cancer
- The treatment you received
- How long you’ve been in remission
- The date of diagnosis
- Their own underwriting guidelines
Because of this, approval isn’t guaranteed, and you may be offered higher premiums compared to someone without a cancer history.
A good approach is to compare quotes from multiple insurers, particularly those experienced in covering cancer survivors, to find the best option for your situation.
