The following tumours are excluded: Tumours showing the malignant changes of carcinoma in situ (including cervical dysplasia CIN-1, CIN-2 and CIN-3) or which are histologically described as pre-malignant; All skin cancers including hyperkeratoses, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas and Melanomas of less than 1.5 mm maximum thickness as determined by histological examination using the Breslow method, unless there is evidence of metastasis; Non Life-threatening Cancers such as Prostatic cancers which are histologically described as TNM Classification T1 or are of another equivalent or lesser classification, Papillary Micro-Carcinoma of the Thyroid or Bladder and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia less than Rai Stage 3. 83
