Hi,
I understand your concern.
Survival rate of collaped rate is generally good. 50% cases resolving automatically, though the condition is recurred often.
If the collapse is due to mucus plug obstructing air ways, resolution is good Survival is good.
If it's a begnine tumor causes it, relief rate is 50%
If the cause is malignant tumor survival depends on stage & spread of malignancy-- usually grave.
Thanks.
