Hi everyone, I am back with Matt Rann and we are talking about ovarian cancer. We are talking about what underwriters need to assess a protection insurance application, the treatments that can sometimes help you to understand how strong the cancer was and how family medical history can play a part in terms offered.
Ovarian cancer is usually diagnosed in women that are aged 50 or over, but it can be diagnosed at any age. It’s often not found quickly as the symptoms can be quite general and Matt gives a really clear example of symptoms that can indicate it’s best to go speak with a GP for a check up.
The key takeaways:
- You must know the staging and grading of the cancer, to get a clear indication of terms from the insurer.
- Ovarian cancer can potentially be linked to other conditions such as a high BMI, the BRCA gene, endometriosis, diabetes, breast and bowel cancer.
- A case study of a woman in her 40s that was arranged life insurance after ovarian cancer.
We have a number of exciting episodes coming up including deep dives into sickle cell anaemia, sarcoidosis, claims and the incredibly important topic of economic abuse.
