King Charles was admitted at a private London hospital Friday to undergo a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate. 

Good to be with you. What we know is that King Charles was admitted into the London Clinic, a hospital that's just about 20 minutes away from where we are here at Buckingham Palace early this morning. This is the same hospital where Princess Kate is being treated as well. This is where she underwent her planned abdominal surgery last week. That was successful according to Kensington Palace and she's recovering. Now, NBC news has confirmed that the king met with her, he visited with her this morning ahead of his planned treatment. What we know about the king's condition is that he sought treatment for an enlarged prostate and that he will undergo this corrective procedure. What is unclear is how long he's going to remain in the hospital? But Buckingham Palace does tell us that he's expected to have a short recovery. Now, take a look at Princess Kate's condition. We understand that she will remain in the hospital. She should be released any day now. But last week, they were telling us that she would in the hospital to recover 10 to 14 days, she will then be released to go home where she's expected to recover in about 2 to 3 months. And so it's the advice of the doctors according to Kensington Palace that she doesn't resume her duties until after Easter. So that certainly gives you an idea of just how significant a surgery she underwent. But again, King Charles is in the hospital being treated for an enlarged prostate in London, Megan Fitzgerald NBC News.

Researchers have found long-term evidence that actively monitoring localized prostate cancer is a safe alternative to immediate surgery or radiation.

67 year old Randy Mish was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Earlier this year, they found two lesions, uh, one very small but one about a half an inch in size. But he's chosen not to get surgery or any radiation treatments. The idea that it was early was like, OK, that gives us more of a chance to deal with it in a different way than in surgery, I guess. I look at surgery as. invasive opting instead for active monitoring, regular blood tests, imaging and biopsies. Active surveillance is not doing nothing. Active surveillance is a treatment. Now, a game changer from the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that men with localized prostate cancer who underwent active monitoring had the same survival rates as those that opted for radiotherapy or surgery. 97% survived 15 years after being diagnosed. Though importantly, the study did not examine cancer spread. I think people might look at this and go wait a minute. You want to tell me I have prostate cancer, but you don't want to do anything about it. We must be very selective and understand the risks and benefits associated with treatments and in those men in which there are subtle changes, we can still do treatments and cure those men treatments that could lead to long term side effects like urinary and sexual dysfunction. Prostate cancer is the leading form of cancer among men. But for those considered lower risk, delaying aggressive treatment is now a viable option. This gives me a great option, especially with the reports that showing that it's as effective as surgery would be. So, why not Dr John Torres NBC News,
