What tests has King Charles undergone since cancer diagnosis? Doctor explains

King Charles’ cancer battle has been one of the most heavily covered bits of news ever since the world first came to know about it.

Consultant dermatologist with a special interest in skin cancer and screening Professor Ramia Mokbel is the one who explained everything there is to know about his current cancer battle.

The founder of the London Skin and Mole Clinic cited the original statement by the Palace that highlighted this issue and said, “Cancer diagnosis typically involves a combination of imaging and biopsy procedures.”

For those unversed with the original statement it reads, “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.”

The professor also added, “Effective cancer screening methods include colonoscopy for colorectal cancer, lung scans for lung cancer, PSA blood tests and MRI for prostate cancer, and cervical cell sampling for cancer of the cervix along with mapping and biopsy for melanoma detection.”

As of right now, no proper detail, straight from the King or Buckingham Palace is available. The last update came around December, when the monarch appeared on Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer TV programme to reveal that his “schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year.”

Buckingham Palace later elaborated around the same day, “his Majesty has responded exceptionally well to treatment and his doctors advise that ongoing measures will now move into a precautionary phase. This position will be continuously monitored and reviewed to protect and prioritise his continued recovery. As The King has said, this milestone on his recovery journey is 'a great personal blessing'.”
