Find Oesophageal Cancer Travel Insurance

Oesophageal cancer is a type of cancer that affects the oesophagus (also referred to as the gullet or food pipe). Around 9,400 new cases are diagnosed each year according to Cancer Research UK, with over 40% of new cases diagnosed in people aged 75 and over.

Having specialist Oesophageal Cancer Travel Insurance is important to make sure you are covered financially for any unforeseen circumstances that could arise from your condition.
