The Vatican reports that the Pope will not require any further treatment after undergoing surgery for adenocarcinoma.

Pope Leo XIV will not require further medical treatment following a successful surgery to remove an adenocarcinoma from his right lung. The procedure took place on October 13 at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome. A subsequent oncological evaluation confirmed that no additional therapy is necessary for the pontiff’s recovery.

The Vatican released an official statement confirming the positive results of the post-operative testing. The medical team’s assessment indicates that the surgical intervention was sufficient to address the condition, allowing the Pope to forgo further oncological treatment.
