梵蒂冈表示，教皇利奥将于周六离开医院，肺部手术数日后教皇利奥十四世一直在罗马杰梅利医院接受肺癌治疗。
Vatican Says Pope Leo Will Leave Hospital on Saturday, Days After Lung Surgery Leo XIV had been treated for lung cancer at Gemelli Hospital in Rome.
梵蒂冈宣布，教皇利奥十四世将于周六从罗马医院出院，距其右肺肿瘤切除手术仅四天。
Pope Leo XIV was set to be discharged from a Rome hospital on Saturday, the Vatican announced, four days after surgery to remove a tumor from his right lung.
教皇预计将在下午离开杰梅利医院，比梵蒂冈最初建议的出院时间早大约三天。
The pope was expected to leave Gemelli Hospital in the afternoon, roughly three days earlier than the Vatican had originally suggested for when he would return to his residence.
梵蒂冈官员表示，他将于周日从俯瞰圣彼得广场的公寓发表每周一次的祈祷和祝福，尽管他的所有私人接见将持续暂停至周二。
Vatican officials said he would deliver his weekly prayer and blessing on Sunday from his apartment overlooking St. Peter’s Square, although all of his private audiences are suspended until Tuesday.
梵蒂冈周六发表的一份声明中，利奥的医生表示，他接受了常规检查，胸部X光显示受影响的肺部愈合良好。他们表示他“已具备出院条件”。教皇上周日宣布医生在其肺部发现了一个小的生长物并决定手术时，这一消息让世界感到意外。两天后，外科医生切除了他右肺的下叶，并确认教皇患有肺癌，这与术前检查结果一致。梵蒂冈后来发布的信息表明，癌症是在早期被发现的。
In a statement released on Saturday by the Vatican, Leo’s doctors said that he had undergone routine checkups and a chest X-ray had revealed that the affected lung was healing well. They said that he was “fit for discharge.”The pope caught the world off guard when he announced last Sunday that doctors had found a small growth in his lung and had decided to operate. Two days later, surgeons removed a lower lobe of his right lung and confirmed that the pope had lung cancer, as preoperative tests had shown. Information later released by the Vatican suggested the cancer was caught at an early stage.
利奥的疾病动摇了他的教皇生涯，使他的近期旅行计划和教会的长期规划充满不确定性，而他至今一直以缓慢的步伐推进这些事务。梵蒂冈网站周六仍显示他计划下个月前往南美洲，但一些官员表示，该行程取决于他康复的速度。
Leo’s illness has shaken his papacy, casting uncertainty over his immediate travel itinerary and long-term plans for the church, which he has so far carried out at a slow pace. The Vatican website on Saturday still said that he planned to travel next month to South America, but some officials have suggested the trip depends on the speed of his recovery.
利奥是第一位出生于美国的教皇，他在69岁时当选，距今不到18个月，当时看来他还有数年时间来塑造罗马天主教会。如今随着癌症诊断的出现，利奥突然面临着与其前任方济各相同的长寿问题——方济各在其12年的教皇生涯中逐渐变得虚弱。
When Leo, the first pope born in the United States, was elected at 69, less than 18 months ago, he seemed to have years ahead of him to shape the Roman Catholic Church. With the cancer diagnosis, Leo suddenly faces the same questions of longevity that hung over his predecessor, Francis, who grew gradually more frail during his 12-year papacy.
利奥被诊断出患有肺腺癌，这是一种常见的肺癌类型。其生存率因癌症的阶段和患者的整体健康状况而异，差异很大。利奥以经常打网球而闻名，且未有其他报告的健康问题。医生尚未公布进一步检测的结果，以确定是否需要额外的治疗。
Leo was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, a common form of lung cancer. Survival rates for it vary greatly depending on the stage of the cancer and a patient’s overall health. Leo is known to play tennis regularly and had no other reported medical problems. Doctors have not released the results of additional tests to determine what additional treatments, if any, are warranted.
肺癌仍然是癌症死亡的主要原因之一，但其死亡率已降至20世纪90年代的一半，这部分原因是新开发的治疗方法正在发挥作用。
Lung cancer is still a leading cause of cancer death, but that rate is half of what it was in the 1990s, partly because newly developed treatments are working.
