根据梵蒂冈的一份声明，教皇利奥十四世的医生表示，在教皇的肺癌手术后，没有必要进行进一步的治疗。
Luigi Carbone博士和Stefano Margaritora教授在声明中说：“结果证实，肿瘤是肺腺癌，而且这种疾病是局部性的。”＂随后的肿瘤学评估证实没有必要进一步治疗．＂
梵蒂冈上周表示，利奥十四世被诊断患有肺癌，并于10月13日接受了手术，切除了右肺下叶。
教皇接受了微创摄像机引导的外科手术。卡蓬和玛格丽塔当时说，他在手术室呆了大约三个小时，手术持续了大约90分钟。他们补充说，手术很成功，没有并发症。
梵蒂冈当时表示，利奥的康复预计将持续一周左右
教皇于周六下午从罗马阿斯蒂诺·格默利大学医院出院，返回梵蒂冈。
周日，他出现在梵蒂冈住所的窗口，在带领众人祈祷之前，他赢得了聚集人群的欢呼，这标志着他在接受手术后几天恢复了教皇的公开例行公事。
Leo被诊断患有肺腺癌，这是非小细胞肺癌中最常见的亚型，根据美国肺癌基金会的数据，约占所有肺癌病例的40%。
美国癌症协会表示，肺腺癌始于肺部制造粘液的细胞，称为上皮细胞，排列在肺表面。
根据美国癌症中心的说法，如果癌症没有扩散到肺部以外，非小细胞肺癌的5年相对存活率是67%。
对于区域阶段，意味着癌症已经扩散到附近的结构或淋巴结，5年相对生存率为40%。ACS说，如果癌症已经扩散到身体的其他部位，这个比例是12%。
卡彭和玛格丽塔说，利奥的癌症是“局部的”，这意味着它没有扩散到身体的其他部位。
利奥是芝加哥人，也是第一位美国教皇，前红衣主教罗伯特·普雷沃斯特于2025年5月当选为该教会的第267任教皇。
利奥正式计划于11月6日至17日访问乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁，他的行程预计将按计划进行。
Pope Leo＇s doctors say no further treatment is necessary after lung cancer surgery
Pope Leo XIV＇s doctors said no further treatment is necessary following the pontiff＇s surgery for lung cancer， according to a Vatican statement．
＂The results confirmed that the tumor was a pulmonary adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized，＂ Dr． Luigi Carbone and Prof． Stefano Margaritora said in the statement． ＂A subsequent oncological evaluation confirmed that no further treatment is necessary．＂
Leo XIV was diagnosed with lung cancer andunderwent surgeryon Oct． 13 to have the lower lobe of his right lung removed， the Vatican said last week．
The pontiff underwent a minimally invasive camera-guided surgical procedure． He was in the operating room for about three hours with the surgery itself lasting approximately 90 minutes， Carbone and Margaritora said at the time． The surgery was successful and there were no complications， they added．
Leo＇s recovery was expected to last about a week， the Vatican said at the time
The pope was discharged from Rome＇s Agostino Gemelli University Hospital on Saturday afternoonand returned to the Vatican．
He appeared on Sunday at the window of his Vatican residence， drawing cheers from a gathered crowd before leading them in a prayer， marking a return to his public papal routine days after undergoing surgery．
Leo was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma， which is the most common subtype of non-small cell lung cancer， accounting for roughly 40% of all lung cancer cases， according to theLung Cancer Foundation of America．
Lung adenocarcinoma begins in cells in the lung that make mucus， called epithelial cells， which line the surface of the lungs， theAmerican Cancer Societysays．
The 5-year relative survival rate for non-small cell lung cancer is 67% if the cancer has not spread outside of the lung， according to theACS．
For the regional stage， meaning the cancer has spread to nearby structures or lymph nodes， the 5-year relative survival rate is 40%． If the cancer has spread to other parts of the body， the rate is 12%， the ACS says．
Carbone and Margaritora said Leo＇s cancer was ＂localized，＂ meaning it had not spread to other parts of the body．
Leo， a Chicago native and the first American pope， formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost， waselectedthe church＇s 267th pontiff in May 2025．
Leo is officially scheduled to make a trip to Uruguay， Argentina and Peru between Nov． 6 and 17 and his trip is expected to proceed as planned．
