Critical Illness policies cover different illnesses depending on which one you take out. If you are diagnosed as having Breast Cancer and cancer is listed as one of the critical illnesses that are covered, then yes it should.
Every assurance policy contains definitions of each illness so you would need to ensure that your condition matches the definition in your policy. To try to avoid confusion for customers the Association of British Insurers has agreed definitions for a range of 'core' illnesses, such as cancer meaning that, for example, if you were diagnosed as having a malignant tumour then the policy will pay a benefit.
Critical Illness Assurance will only pay a benefit at the point of you having been diagnosed by a professional, probably after you have undergone some medical tests.
You should be aware that some policies have stipulations meaning that the insurance company would not pay a benefit if you died within a short time of being diagnosed as a result of a critical illness. With one company you have to survive for at least 28 days after diagnosis which can make it a sensible option to take out a policy that includes life assurance cover.
