King Charles Says Cancer Treatment Will Be Scaled Back Next Year After Televised Update

Using a Stand Up To Cancer broadcast, he pressed Britons to take up screening, noting millions skip available checks.

Overview

  • In a pre-recorded Channel 4 message, the monarch said his therapy has progressed to the point it can be reduced in the new year.
  • Buckingham Palace said treatment is not finished but will move into a preventive monitoring phase rather than intensive therapy.
  • The address was filmed at Clarence House and aired as part of the Stand Up To Cancer campaign, which then continued live from Addenbrooke's Hospital.
  • Charles has not disclosed the cancer type; it was discovered during prostate-related care in early 2024 and is not prostate cancer.
  • He urged wider screening participation, highlighted a new national information tool, and warned that about nine million people in the UK miss offered checks.
