Doctor questions Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, internet sleuths wonder if video was generated by AI

A doctor has questioned Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales’s shocking announcement that she is undergoing cancer treatment.Jonathan Reiner, MD, professor of medicine at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., in an interview with ABC CNNAnderson Cooper said that from a medical point of view, it is not true that Kate Middleton discovered cancer after undergoing major surgery.

Reiner said when people undergo any extensive surgery, they typically don’t undergo any more “exploratory surgery,” and whatever the disease is can be confirmed with pathology testing and imaging.

Kate Middleton says tests after surgery revealed she had cancer.

“In January I had major abdominal surgery in London and at the time my condition was thought to be non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, post-surgery tests revealed that cancer was already present. Therefore, my medical team advised that I should undergo prophylaxis chemotherapy, and I’m in the early stages of treatment now,” Kate Middleton told the world in a video announcing she had been diagnosed with cancer.

“When people undergo extensive surgery, they typically don’t have any more ‘exploratory surgery’ and all of these surgeries are preceded by extensive imaging such as CAT scans and MRIs. So the surgical team will have a good idea of ​​what problems may arise. good understanding and can be confirmed pathologically,” Reiner said.

Notably, Kensington Palace dismissed reports last week (January 17) that Kate Middleton was undergoing cancer treatment. According to the British “Daily Mail” report, Kensington Palace confirmed that Princess Kate does not have cancer and has not received treatment. american mirror.

Reiner further explained that a piece of tissue will be sent to the pathology lab during the surgery, and the actual extent of the surgery will depend on the diagnosis. “So a piece of tissue is removed…and that usually goes directly to the pathology lab during surgery, and sometimes whether it’s cancer or not will determine the extent of the actual surgery,” he explained.

“So it’s likely that the surgical team knew or had a clear idea of ​​what was going to happen before the surgery and it was confirmed when pathology tests were done during the surgery. So this is at least something that was previously suspected and confirmed during the surgery, ” He further added.

Kensington Palace’s statement denying Kate’s illness and a video of Kate revealing she was undergoing treatment also sparked controversy.

Meanwhile, some social media users have claimed that Kate Middleton’s video may have been generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
