Travel Insurance for Prostate Cancer

What is prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland and can affect urinary function and overall health, and it can affect people in different ways depending on the stage of the condition and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 475,000 people are living with prostate cancer.

It’s important that you discuss your prostate cancer with a doctor before travelling. They will need to ensure that you are fit to fly with prostate cancer and that any symptoms are well managed.

Be aware that the nature of prostate cancer can affect your ability to get travel insurance or the level of cover available.

Most people with prostate cancer continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it can often be done safely and confidently.

Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have prostate cancer:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
• Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
• 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad

Travel advice for people with a cancerous condition like prostate cancer

• Travel only once your doctor confirms it’s safe to go with prostate cancer
• Make sure you have enough medication for the length of your trip
• Avoid overexertion and allow time for rest
• Carry medical information outlining your prostate cancer and treatment

If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration questions carefully so that everything about your prostate cancer is included.

Travel insurance is still available if you have prostate cancer. The cover offered depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is controlled, and clear, accurate answers in your medical declaration help make sure the right cover is arranged.
