What types of cancers disqualify a person from donating organs?
Certain cancers, due to their aggressive nature and high risk of recurrence, can disqualify a person from becoming an organ donor. These include metastatic cancers, lung cancer, melanoma, and aggressive forms of lymphoma or leukemia. Conversely, individuals with a history of some low-grade skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma, may still be considered for organ donation.
