Tumors and malignant diseases a. Current benign tumors (M8000), or conditions that interfere with function, prevent the proper wearing of the uniform or protective equipment, or will require frequent specialized attention, or have a high malignant potential, such as Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome, are disqualifying. b. Current or history of malignant tumors (V10) is disqualifying.

2–31. Tumors and malignant diseases
a. Current benign tumors (M8000), or conditions that interfere with function, prevent the proper wearing of the
uniform or protective equipment, or will require frequent specialized attention, or have a high malignant potential, such
as Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome, are disqualifying.
b. Current or history of malignant tumors (V10) is disqualifying.

Skin cancer (other than malignant melanoma)
removed with no residual, is not disqualifying.
