Cancer Insurance helps you cover the indirect costs of suffering a serious illness like life-threatening cancer, stroke, heart attack or major organ transplant with money you can use for anything you need.

Men have slightly less than a 1 in 2 lifetime risk of developing cancer; for women the risk is a little more that 1in 3.

About 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2003.
The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined is 62 percent.
American Cancer Society, 2003 Cancer Facts and Figures.

Cancer insurance pays for the costs associated with cancer regardless of whether you have health insurance. If you have health insurance it will pay in addition to anything your health insurance pays. Likewise, if you don't have health insurance, cancer insurance still pays the same benefits.

Cancer insurance pays extensive benefits for hospital stays, leukemia and chemotherapy treatments, as well as check-ups and other wellness exams, such as mammograms, pap smears, and more. These exams are important and can help prevent cancer and related illnesses. 

Regardless of your family history of cancer or whether you smoke, you are still most likely eligible for cancer insurance. Cancer insurance is also available for family coverage.
