Last Friday, March 22nd, the Princess of Wales finally shared an update on her health condition, announcing that she is suffering from cancer but did not reveal what type. However, an American specialist explained the cancer treatment Kate Middleton is undergoing and what the next steps are.
Kate explained, “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. However, tests after the operation found cancer has been present“. Based on the site of the surgery, it is assumed that the affected areas could be the liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, stomach, colon, or gynecological sphere.
The specialist, Francisco Plaza, a gyneco-oncologist and mastologist, said, “Chemotherapy has specific indications and is only given under strict protocols and with a duly confirmed diagnosis“, implying that it is not a process that is done in a preventive manner.
He also explained, “If it is a biopsy, chemotherapy will be given once the diagnosis has been made; it is no longer preventive; it is according to the tumor response“. The most likely Kate Middleton treatment will be, according to Plaza, “neoadjuvant, before definitive surgical treatment“.
