King Charles cancer treatment 'to continue into new year' as health update given

The cancer treatment of King Charles III is set to continue into 2025 according to reports.

Earlier this year, in February, Buckingham Palace announced that the King had been diagnosed with cancer.

In a statement, they said: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted.

"Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer."

He then postponed a number of royal duties while undergoing care, but was then confirmed to be making positive progress.

In April, the palace stated: "His Majesty’s medical team are very encouraged by the progress made so far and remain positive about the King’s continued recovery.”

According to Sky News, sources from the palace have stated that 'his treatment has been moving in a positive direction and as a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year'.

They went on to add 'there is a sense of optimism, which can be seen in the King's desire to keep up a busy schedule of public engagements, including during the festive period.'

It hasn't been confirmed which type of cancer the King was diagnosed with, but he has been attending appointments in London.

Chief executive of cancer support charity Maggie's, Dame Laura Lee, shared: "It's very common for treatment to be ongoing for very long periods of time, as is the treatment that the Princess of Wales went through, which is an intense period of treatment over a year, and then it comes to a point where it's on an end, and she's on that recovery from some of the impacts of her treatment.

"So we've got immunotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy. There are all sorts of different treatment modalities. And so it's not surprising at all."

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, was also diagnosed with the disease before announcing in September that she had completed chemotherapy and is now cancer free in an emotional video and statement.

Dame Laura Lee reflected on the two royals sharing their diagnoses with the public.

She said: "What we've heard from our centre visitors, it's been good that [Charles and Kate] haven't just shone a light on one specific cancer type, but they've shone a light on cancer as a whole, and that there's varying treatment and varying impacts and varying different ways of navigating the challenges that cancer bring.

"And I think that approach has been much more effective and positive for the cancer community. I know firsthand that everyone is so grateful to them for doing that."
