"King Charles III said Friday that early diagnosis and treatment will allow doctors to reduce his cancer treatment in the new year as he encouraged others to take advantage of screening programs that can detect the disease early when it is easiest to treat. "Early diagnosis quite simply saves lives," the king said. "I know, too, what a difference it has made in my own case, enabling me to continue leading a full and active life even while undergoing treatment," he added."
"Buckingham Palace said his treatment is moving to a "precautionary phase" and his condition will be monitored to ensure his continued recovery. Friday's message is the latest example of how Charles has used his own story to promote cancer awareness and treatment since he announced his diagnosis in February 2024. That seems to have paid off, with British cancer charities saying the number of people seeking information about cancer jumped after the king revealed he was undergoing treatment."
King Charles III encouraged people to use cancer screening, saying early diagnosis and treatment allowed doctors to reduce his treatment next year and that early diagnosis saves lives. He reported that his diagnosis has enabled him to continue leading a full and active life while undergoing treatment. Buckingham Palace said his treatment is moving to a "precautionary phase" and his condition will be monitored to ensure continued recovery. Charles has promoted cancer awareness since announcing his diagnosis in February 2024, and British cancer charities reported increased information-seeking after he disclosed his treatment. He has not revealed the cancer type or specific treatments. Tests following treatment for an enlarged prostate ruled out prostate cancer but found a separate issue of concern, and he suspended public appearances for about two months after diagnosis.
