As of 9 Apr 2013, the FAA modified its policy to allow the Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) to clear airmen with prostate cancer that was confined to the prostate. If spread beyond the prostate, then the case continues to require Special Issuance. This documentation can be submitted directly to the FAA or the AME, but pilots and controllers are cautioned that most clinical specialists are not trained to recognize all of the aeromedically relevant aspects of a case. Erroneous or incomplete information can result in significant delays in certification. Once an airman or controller is returned to duty, the FAA will generally require a Current Status Report from your treating physician at the time of your next FAA medical examination.
