“No information has been leaked from the Royal Family on the health of King Charles III, let alone from our urological colleagues at the London Clinic. However, after the operation for benign prostatic hypertrophy to which the sovereign underwent, we can hypothesize that they found a tumor to the prostate, bladder or lung. These are in fact the suspected organs, but obviously we are in the field of hypotheses.” Vincenzo Mirone, head of the Communications Office of the Italian Society of Urology (SIU), explains it to Adnkronos Salute, speaking on the new chapter that is opening for King Charles after the start of treatment against the cancer that was diagnosed following his prostate surgery last week.
“When we perform an operation for prostate hypertrophy – underlines Mirone – we then have the tissues subjected to the resection analyzed by the pathologist”. The histological examination of the removed prostate “can sometimes highlight the presence of tumor cells – adds Giuseppe Carrieri, president of the Italian urologists – the knowledge of which we knew nothing about before. What happened to colleagues at the London Clinic has happened to all urologists, that is, discovering a tumor after a simple prostate operation. In urological practice it is common although, fortunately, cases are decreasing.”
And if according to Carrieri “King Charles III’s tumor most likely affects the prostate”, although Buckingham Palace excludes that the tumor affects this organ, Mirone ventures other hypotheses: “In addition to the prostate, my suspicions also concern the bladder and lung, although the organ closest to the prostate is the intestine, in particular the colon rectum. No personal ideas, but only the most plausible hypotheses”, he concludes.
