Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer following the successful surgical removal of an adenocarcinoma. During a procedure lasting 90 minutes, surgeons successfully excised the lower lobe of the Pope's right lung to address the cancerous mass detected during a recent medical check-up.
The diagnosis was initially disclosed by the Pope himself during Sunday prayers at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, where he informed the faithful of his upcoming surgery. The medical intervention followed the discovery of a nodule during a routine examination.
