There are many types of cancer and to properly determine the correct answer to your question, you should talk to an experienced broker that is very familiar with several underwriting guidelines of major disability carriers.
Depending on the exact type of cancer, most companies would probably not issue the policy if you are currently being treated. Cancer can be a devastating disease. No company will issue a policy knowing there is likely to be a claim in the very near future. If you have a minor skin cancer then you may be able to receive coverage, otherwise it is doubtful. The only way to find out is to speak with an agent and do a trial application or have him call underwriting at the company for a preliminary evaluation.
