Travel Insurance for
Cancer patients

A Cancer diagnosis can be life changing for you and your family. In addition to the health impact during and after treatment, it can continue to present long-term problems whenever you are required to give medical history details. Many travel insurance policies have exclusions or restrictions on Cancer and other major health conditions, leaving you with the unenviable choice of travelling with inadequate insurance or cancelling your travel plans altogether.

We understand that after a Cancer diagnosis, the type and duration of treatment, plus long-term aftercare and prognosis can be very varied, which may affect the insurance cover that you require.

Whether you have successfully completed all treatment; are on preventative maintenance medication following Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy or Surgery; are currently receiving treatment or are having check-ups on a 'watch & wait' basis, we have a range of policies available and our experienced Sales Consultants can guide you through the medical screening to help you choose the right cover for your needs.

Every day, approximately 1,000 people will be diagnosed with Cancer in the UK. With improving treatment, more people are living with Cancer successfully in remission or maintained at a slow-progressing stage. Cancer should not prevent you from travelling overseas, so Worldwide Travel Insurance are here to help you buy cover to give you real peace of mind so you can relax knowing you're insured.

Worldwide Travel Insurance offers cover at competitive rates, with low medical endorsement premiums, giving you the cover you need at an affordable cost.
