Cancer Definition: Cancer means a disease manifested by the presence of a malignancy characterized by the uncontrolled growth and abnormal spread of malignant cells and the invasion of body tissue by such malignant cells. Cancer includes Hodgkin’s disease and leukemia. This definition excludes such cancers as:

• 1. Pre-malignant tumors or polyps;
• 2. Skin Cancer, except malignant melanoma; and
• 3. Cancer In Situ.

Cancer will not be a covered condition when advice or treatment is received within the Waiting Period, if any, or prior to the Effective Date, and such advice or treatment leads to the Diagnosis of Cancer. If tissue is extracted during the Waiting Period, if any, or prior to the Effective Date, and results in a Diagnosis of Cancer, this will not be a covered condition. If Cancer is Diagnosed and/or treated within the Waiting Period, or if medical advice is given within the Waiting Period which leads to the subsequent Diagnosis of Cancer after the Waiting Period, the Covered Person has the option to cancel the Rider and receive a refund of all premiums paid on this Rider. For the purposes of this Rider, the date of Diagnosis will be considered to be the earlier of the date of clinical Diagnosis or the date the specimen used to diagnose Cancer is taken.
