Ahead of the fundraising event, Stand Up To Cancer has introduced a new online screening checker to help people understand which breast, bowel and cervical screening programmes they may qualify for.
The tool — available at screeningchecker.co.uk — offers trusted guidance from Cancer Research UK and directs users to further support whenever needed.
The King’s Experience With Treatment
The King’s decision to speak openly about screening and early diagnosis comes after nearly two years of weekly cancer treatment, which he received as an outpatient at a hospital that was not publicly disclosed.
His diagnosis was announced in February 2024, leading to a temporary scaling back of his public duties before he gradually resumed engagements later that spring.
A National Effort to Fund Research
Stand Up To Cancer, first launched in the UK in 2012, unites celebrities, clinicians and the public in raising millions for translational cancer research.
The annual campaign funds clinical trials and backs pioneering scientists working to accelerate the development of new cancer treatments.
