Brain Tumour Life Insurance

Life Insurance After a Brain Tumour

If you’ve been diagnosed at some point with a brain tumour, you might be worried about your ability to find suitable and affordable life insurance. Insurers can often view this type of condition as a complex risk, which may lead to you having fewer options, or having to pay higher premiums. At Your Life Protected, we understand these challenges and have a wealth of experience finding Life Insurance for people with pre-existing conditions.

Understanding the Different Types of Brain Tumours

Brain tumours can be categorised as benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The type of tumour you’ve been diagnosed with will have a direct impact on your ability to secure Life Insurance, below are some examples of different types of brain tumour:

  • Meningiomas: These are often benign (non-cancerous) tumours that develop from the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. They are typically slow growing but can cause issues should they grow into surrounding areas.
  • Gliomas: These are a common form of malignant tumour that develops from glial cells that support the nerve cells in the brain. These are commonly graded according to their severity, and the higher grades can often grow very quickly.
  • Astrocytoma: These develop from a type of glial cell called an astrocyte. They can be low grade and slow growing, or more aggressive and fast growing.
  • Oligodendrogliomas: These also develop from glial cells and can be slow growing or may have a more aggressive and fast-growing element.
  • Acoustic Neuromas: These are often benign and slow-growing tumours that develop on the nerves leading to the ear and balance areas of the brain.
  • Pituitary Adenomas: These are tumours that develop on the pituitary gland, which is at the base of the brain. These are often benign.
