There is no universal exclusion list. A person may be unsuitable if there is no supported indication, the particular procedure’s risks outweigh likely benefit, or a study’s eligibility criteria are not met. The relevant specialist must review health history, medicines and alternatives. Do not assume a cancer diagnosis always excludes treatment: some transplant programmes treat cancer. Read the assessment guide.

Suitability is specific to the intervention
A responsible assessment may recommend against a procedure even when a person wants it or can pay. Ask which missing information could change the recommendation and whether a different established option is more appropriate. If the proposal is a study, eligibility must match that study’s protocol; a general online checklist is insufficient.
Questions to take to a consultation
- Is there a supported clinical goal in my situation?
- Which personal factors alter the balance of benefit and risk?
- Can the assessor explain alternatives and reasons not to proceed?
Request clear written answers and discuss unresolved points with a clinician familiar with your history before committing to a product or procedure.
