King 'deeply touched' by reaction to cancer 'good news' - as screening sites see traffic surge

King Charles III credits early diagnosis and effective care for his improved condition and urges the public to participate in cancer screenings, highlighting 9 million missed opportunities in the UK.

  • On Dec. 12, King Charles III recorded a pre-recorded video at Clarence House for the Stand Up To Cancer campaign announcing his cancer treatment will be reduced in the new year on Channel 4.
  • The diagnosis followed a January corrective procedure at the London Clinic, and King Charles III began outpatient cancer treatment on Feb. 5, 2024, continuing regular care since then.
  • In the recorded message, Charles reflected that early diagnosis helped him continue leading an active life and called his recovery `a personal blessing` amid advances in cancer care in recent years.
  • Cancer Research UK said about 100,000 people visited its Screening Checker since launch, mostly after the King's update, while NHS England reported almost 4,000 views in 24 hours and Buckingham Palace said he will be 'deeply touched'.
  • Public-Health bodies urged, with Dr Harrison Carter saying NHS England and the Public Health Agency 'fully supported' King Charles III's call for screening uptake, as at least nine million are not up to date.
