Britain바카라s King Charles III, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, on Tuesday resumed his public-facing duties with a planned visit to a cancer centre in London where he held hands with a number of patients.

The 75-year-old monarch, still undergoing treatment which Buckingham Palace earlier said has been rated as 바카라very encouraging바카라 by his medical team, was also named Cancer Research UK's new patron as he joined wife Queen Camilla at the Macmillan Cancer Centre at University College Hospital. Smiling and cheerful Charles and Camilla spoke to staff and patients at the centre where the King was overheard saying it was important to get enough people diagnosed early.

바카라This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead,바카라 Buckingham Palace has said.

바카라His Majesty바카라s treatment programme will continue, but doctors are sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far that the King is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty바카라s continued recovery,바카라 the palace said.

The royals also handed out presents to children and received some flowers in return. The King, who is also patron of Macmillan Cancer Support, said he was "much better바카라 when people shouted out to ask how he was feeling.

The royal couple were introduced to clinicians to hear more about all the new technology at the hospital, including CT scanners which are being used to help with the early detection of cancer.

The King met Cancer Research UK바카라s chief clinician, Professor Charlie Swanton, who has led a project called TRACERx 바카라 a collaboration with 250 researchers and clinicians based at 19 centres across the UK, to investigate how lung cancer evolves.
