Introduction
Term Cancer Insurance mainly covers cancer over a fixed time period. A fixed lump sum benefit is payable if the insured is diagnosed with cancer. Term Cancer insurance products are usually with fixed premium and coverage term of 1, 5 or 10 years, mostly with guaranteed renewability up to a certain age. 10Life rates Term Cancer products based on the coverage under cancer. Some products in the market cover only the serious cancer only and others cover carcinoma in situ and early-stage cancer.
