Due to advances in the treatment of breast cancer, MassMutual recently announced that it's changing its underwriting guidelines for breast cancer patients and survivors.Typically, a breast cancer diagnosis can result in increased life insurance premiums for patients and survivors. Often, women can't even qualify for coverage until years after diagnosis and treatment. MassMutual's new guidelines will offer better ratings and more options for patients and former patients. And in some cases, postponement times will be reduced.
