I offer Cancer insurance because anyone can develop cancer, and the risk of being diagnosed increases with age. About 77% of all cancers are diagnosed in individuals age 55 and older. Over 90% of all cancers are the result of nonhereditary risk factors. The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers continues to improve; for all cancers diagnosed between 1996 and 2003, the survival rate is 66%. The improvement in survival reflects progress in early detection and improvements in treatment.*
