Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, underwent major abdominal surgery in January in London, initially thought to be non-cancerous but tests later revealed the presence of cancer. She began chemotherapy in late February as advised by her medical team. The treatment is in the early stages. Preventative chemotherapy, also known as adjuvant chemotherapy, is given after primary treatments like surgery. The decision for this treatment is based on factors like cancer stage, type, and patient\'s age to improve outcomes.
