  1. May i know whether the breast cancer and cervical cancer are listed one of the 36 critical illnesses covered by the insurance as well? i am referring to this website below and it is said that these female cancers are not covered.

  2. Hi, Cammy.

    Your question is very hard to answer as I am not a doctor. Female cancer is a very complicated subject.

    But, generally, according to an e-book (36 Critical Illnesses Explained: Second Edition) written by Yow Chuan (www.meshio.com), the phrase "Carcinoma in situ" refers to cancer that involves only the place in which it began and has not spread. Carcinoma in situ is an early-stage tumor. The term "in situ" (borrowed from the Romans) means "in the natural or normal place". In the case of a cancer, it means that the tumor cells are still confined to the site where they originated and have neither invaded neighboring tissues nor metastasized afar. The tumor is curable.

    In other words, based on the explanation above, early-stage female cancers are NOT covered by a 36 critical illnesses plan generally. For more SERIOUS cases of female cancers, they are covered as a cancer is defined as the uncontrollable growth and spread of malignant cells and the invasion and destruction of normal tissue for which a major interventionist treatment or surgery is considered necessary.

    If you are still worried that your 36 critical illnesses plan doesn't cover female cancers, you can buy an insurance plan that is specially designed to cover female cancers and other female-related critical illnesses which are not covered in a 36 critical illnesses plan. Seldom agent will sell this product as it is very difficult to explain as female cancer is very complex.

    I hope my explanation does help you...
