The mass was initially discovered during what the Vatican described as a "routine check-up" performed a 90-minute operation to remove the lower lobe of the Pope's right lung The procedure was described as successful, with no immediate complications Subsequent tissue analysis confirmed the presence of the cancerous cellsPope Leo is expected to remain in the hospital for approximately one week to recover and receive appropriate medical care for his condition, the Vatican said the successful surgery, cancer specialists note that the stage of the cancer has not yet been determined, which is a critical factor for prognosis and treatment planning. Dr. Stephen Liu, a lung cancer expert at Georgetown University, told Reuters, "Although the diagnosis has been made, the stage of the cancer is not yet known. This is essential for prognosis and treatment" [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt).
Dr. Liu further explained that if the cancer is small and has not spread to the lymph nodes, the surgery itself might be a sufficient cure. However, if final tests reveal that the cancer is more widespread, it would indicate a lower chance of a full recovery [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt).
