You declare it and let the insurance company decide. It's going to depend on what type of cancer it was, how long since you got the 'all clear' and the requirements of the insurance company(ies) you're seeking quotes from. So impossible to give you a definitive answer.

You may we’ll be covered for everything except cancer which is a reasonable approach with a prior history
