When you have cancer, such as prostate cancer, it's important you declare it and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

Get QuoteIf you have terminal prostate cancer, we still may be able to cover your holiday.
As long as your doctor declares you fit enough to travel and your life expectancy is more than six months from the return date of your trip, we might be able to cover you with a Single Trip policy.
We are unable to give quotes for terminal prostate cancer travel insurance online, so for more information please speak to our friendly team today.
Where you’re awaiting surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy for prostate cancer, we may still be able to offer you some level of cover.
It’s important to know that we would have to exclude all of your pre-existing conditions from your travel insurance if you’re awaiting any of these types of treatment.
We would still be able to cover you for other accidents as well as to cover things like lost baggage and delays. But if you had a medical emergency that was caused by any pre-existing condition, then we would not be able to cover you.
The questions we may ask you about your prostate cancer include:
You should get the all-clear from your doctor that it’s safe for you to fly with prostate cancer, as the answer may vary depending on your medical history.
We’ll need to know you’re medically fit to travel before we can offer you cover.
Travellers who have had brachytherapy treatment can set off airport radiation sensors, so it’s a good idea to carry an advice card provided by a doctor saying that you’ve had internal radiation treatment.
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
