  The Hartford Leads the Way in Underwriting

The American Cancer Society estimates 186,295 prostate cancer cases and 179,920 breast cancer cases in the US by the end of 2008.1 While it's a diagnosis no one wants to hear, the chances of surviving cancer and living a full life are far better than they used to be.

In response to the improved prognosis, The Hartford has become the first insurer in the nation to offer life insurance at standard rates to survivors of treated prostate cancer and early stage breast cancer. Your client could obtain a life insurance policy at the same rate as a person with no history of cancer.

Clients that would qualify include:

bullet

Male, diagnosed at age 70 or older with clinically localized prostate cancer, Gleason score, a common assessment, of 6 or less, pre-treatment PSA 10 or lower, post treatment PSA 0.5 or lower, treated with radiation.

bullet

Male, diagnosed age 60 or older, with organ confined prostate cancer, Gleason grade 6, pre-treatment PSA 10 or lower, post treatment PSA undetectable, treated with surgery. No perineural involvement (no cancer with nerve cells) or capsular extension on biopsy.

bullet

Male or female, diagnosed at age 40 or older, with breast cancer that measures 1cm or less, well differentiated, with favorable tumor markers, treated with surgery and lymph node evaluation with no cancer in lymph nodes.
