🔗 Share this article King to Share Intimate Message on Cancer in TV Broadcast The Monarch has filmed a intimate address regarding his battle with cancer, which will be broadcast as part of this year's Stand Up To Cancer campaign, run by medical research organisations and a television broadcaster. The royal household stated the King would reflect on his "healing process" as a cancer patient, in a video message on Friday evening at 20:00 GMT. The address, taped inside his London residence two weeks ago, will emphasise the critical nature of routine screenings to help guarantee more people diagnose the condition at an initial point. This will be a infrequent public commentary on the medical condition of the King, who has been in a course of therapy since the news was shared in early last year. Analysts suggest unlikely the King will specify his specific form of cancer. Fundraising Primary Goal The annual charity event each year raises funds for clinical trials and patient care and prompts people to get screenings to increase the chances of an early diagnosis. The King's public discussion about his condition, and living with cancer, has been intended to raise awareness and to encourage more people to get screened - and this will be advanced with this unusual personal contribution. Up until now the King's key philosophy to his cancer has been to continue his schedule, preserving a hectic timetable alongside his frequent sessions of care, and he seems not to have desired to be characterised by his diagnosis. The past twelve months has seen the Sovereign, embarking on several international tours, such as visits to Italy and Canada, and hosting the largest volume of inward state visits to the UK for almost 40 years, featuring the German president recently. Friday's Evening Programme Friday evening's Stand Up to Cancer programme on Channel 4, hosted by celebrities such as a team of famous hosts, will urge people not to be frightened of getting preventative tests. Each presenter have been personally touched by cancer - one host revealed in November she had undergone surgery for the disease, while Balding was overcame the illness more than 15 years ago. Host Adam Hills has previously mentioned his late father, who had stomach cancer and then later leukaemia. The programme will reach out to the roughly nine million people in the UK who charities estimate are not up to date with public health checks, with an website to let people see if they are able for tests for breast, bowel and cervical cancer. In an bid to demystify screenings and illustrate the importance of timely identification there will be a direct feed from cancer clinics at Addenbrooke's and Royal Papworth hospitals in Cambridge. "The goal is to take the fear surrounding preventative tests and show all people that they are not alone in this," said a presenter. Understanding Screening Programmes Currently in the UK, there are three NHS cancer screening programmes - for specific cancers - offered to certain age groups. A new scheme for lung health is also being phased in for people at high risk of being diagnosed with the condition, focusing on people aged 55-74 years old, who currently smoke or have smoked in the past. Men may request specific tests, but there is no national programme operational. Funding Research The charity initiative, which has generated £113m for many years, is funding multiple medical projects involving many patients. His Majesty, in a statement for dignitaries at a reception for related organisations in April, had spoken of understanding the "overwhelming and at times frightening experience" for patients and their families. But he stated his personal journey of managing cancer had shown him that "the most difficult times of disease can be alleviated by the kindness of others," as he commended those who looked after cancer patients. Official sources has not made public what kind of cancer the King has, or the therapies he has been given. The King's cancer was identified following he had undergone a prostate procedure.
