He emphasised that the King’s return home after being checked over at hospital was “great news”.
Professor Sikora also noted a significant shift in transparency regarding royal health matters over recent decades.
“It’s fascinating to see how the world has changed over the last 20 years. 20 years ago, we’d never be told anybody had cancer in the Royal Family,” he said.
“Now we’re told. We’re not told everything, and that’s fair enough, as it’s people’s personal data, it’s personal information.”

Professor Sikora shared his advice for cancer patients, including the King, to maintain normal routines.
“The best thing to do is carry on as normal. If you’re not working, but you’ve got a family, just carry on looking after the grandchildren. Whatever you do, just do it. Otherwise you sit there and become miserable,” he advised.
The oncologist praised the facility where the King is receiving treatment.
“[The London Clinic] is a very good place as private clinic which has been around for 90 or 100 years almost now, and he’s having the best care you could get for his cancer,” Professor Sikora stated.
