Dolph Lundgren Health: What Cancer does Dolph Lundgren Have?

Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren has been privately battling cancer for the past eight years.

During an interview on In Depth With Graham Bensinger in May 2023, he revealed for the first time that he was diagnosed with cancer in 2015.

Doctors were able to remove a cancerous tumour in his kidney, “then I did scans every six months, then you do it every year and it was fine, you know, for five years,” Lundgren said.

But in 2020, “I was back in Sweden and had some kind of acid reflux,” Lundgren recalled. “I didn’t know what it was. So I did an MRI and they found there were a few more tumours around the area.

” Six tumours were removed during surgery, but one more tumour which had grown to the “size of a lemon” and could not be easily removed had been discovered in his liver in the fall of 2021, so he began systemic therapy.

He added that 2022 was basically watching these medications do their thing.”  “Finally things had shrunk to about 90%. Now I’m in the process of taking out the remaining scar tissue in those tumors.”

“The prognosis is that, hopefully, when they take these out, there’s no cancer activity and the medication that I’m taking is gonna suppress everything else.”

Lundgren has a hopeful outlook. “You just appreciate being lucky enough to be alive,” he said.

Lundgren will return as Gunnar Jensen in Expendables 4, which will be released on September 22, and as King Nereus in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which will be released on December 20 2023.
