Prince William takes the stage at a London Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner in the British capital, with the British throne's heir apparent taking the opportunity to thank well-wishers for their "kind messages of support" in the wake of his father King Charles III's shock cancer diagnosis as well as his wife Catherine's stint in hospital. "It means a great deal to us all," William adds.

A new analysis by the American Cancer Society reveals death from cancer in the United States fell 31% between 1991 and 2018. Nevertheless, the organization also estimates that this year, nearly 1.9 million people will be diagnosed with cancer and more than 600,000 will die from it. According to UPI, cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the United States. Significant gains have been made in four of the deadliest and most common cancer, namely lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate. Lung cancer is still the most common cause of cancer death nationally. However, the data showed death rates for the disease fell 2.4% annually between 2009 and 2013 and 5% annually between 2014 and 2018.
