Yes!: It depends on the type of prior cancer, and the length of time since treatment. Some cancers are definitely cured after a certain period of time goes by. Even if you have had cancer, you can sign up to be an organ donor if you die unexpectedly. The team who evaluates your organs will get your medical history and make those decisions!
