   Getting life insurance for a cancer survivor is a case by case situation. If the cancer is stage 0 or 1, only requiring surgery, and of a type that is unlikely to recur, life insurance might be issued as short as a year after its occurrence. For cancers of blood or internal organs with higher stages and/or lengthy treatment plans, it may take years to qualify for a medically underwritten policy. If the applicant meets the age guidelines, guaranteed issue life insurance is available in most states, regardless of the type and stage and date of diagnosis of the cancer.
