Kate Middleton shocked the world on Friday when she announced she had been diagnosed with cancer.
The royal mum of three explained that the cancer was discovered following her abdominal surgery, and she is now undergoing treatment, sharing that she is having "preventative chemotherapy." The treatment, known formally as adjuvant chemotherapy, is a course of anti-cancer drugs that is given to mop up any cancer cells that might remain in the body after primary cancer treatment, which is usually surgical removal of a tumour. Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that kills cancer cells and prevents the disease from coming back.
There are many types of chemotherapy, but the most common are tablets and liquids that are put directly into the vein.
Chemotherapy can be given before or after surgery, or on its own. It can also be given to help ease symptoms when the cancer has spread and cannot be cured.
Chemotherapy can be used even if surgeons believe they have removed all the cancer, to lower the risk of the disease coming back. Professor Bob Phillips, Professor of Paediatric Oncology at the University of York, said: "For some types of cancers, chemotherapy can be given after to act to 'mop up' if there are any cancer cells left.
"The value of this varies between cancer types, and even the size and place of the same cancer type." Prof Andrew Beggs, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, said preventive chemotherapy was "a bit like mopping a floor with bleach when you've spilt something on it, chemotherapy kills any spilt cells". Chemotherapy can also be combined with other treatments, such as radiotherapy, to make them more effective.
