Princess Catherine Cancer: What Is Preventative Chemotherapy?

Britain’s Catherine, Princess of Wales, announces her cancer diagnosis in Windsor, west of London on March 22, 2024. Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced on Friday that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy to treat cancer discovered after she had abdominal surgery.While the exact situation is difficult to determine because the 42-year-old princess did not disclose the nature of the cancer, here is an explanation of preventative chemo.

It is “a bit like mopping a floor with bleach when you’ve spilt something on it”, Andrew Beggs, a cancer surgeon at the University of Birmingham, told the Science Media Centre.But common side effects include fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, loss of appetite and an increased risk of getting an infection.Treatment schedules again can vary widely, but a traditional chemo regime would be delivered in four to six blocks, said Bob Phillips, paediatric oncology professor at the University of York.

Shivan Sivakumar, an oncology expert at the University of Birmingham said “there is an epidemic currently” of people under 50 getting cancer.
