Everything To Know About Kate Middleton's Cancer Diagnosis

She revealed that her condition was non-cancerous at the time of her surgery, but post-surgery tests "found cancer had been present."

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, revealed that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer in a personal video message released by Kensington Palace on Friday. She revealed that her condition was non-cancerous at the time of her surgery, but post-surgery tests "found cancer had been present." The Princess underwent surgery on January 17.

Kate Middleton's exact form of cancer has not been specified. Various diagnostic tests, including blood tests, scans, and biopsies, were likely performed to detect the cancer, although details have not been revealed. Biopsy involves examining a small tissue sample under a microscope to identify abnormal cells.

Amanda Pritchard, Chief Executive of NHS England, described the Princess' cancer diagnosis as "shocking" but commended her for speaking out about it. “Speaking out about it is really brave and it can help others to get worrying signs and symptoms checked.”
