Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Britain's King Charles III is making good progress in his personal fight against cancer and will undergo precautionary treatments in 2026.

Charles, 77, announced his progress in a video released Friday, and he credited his recovery to the "remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years," according to CNN.

"Today, I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to 'doctor's orders,' my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year," Charles said in a video filmed ahead of a special event to benefit the Cancer Research UK charity.

The king was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024 after undergoing a medical procedure on his prostate, but he does not have prostate cancer.
