Cancer au poumon du pape : Léon XIV n'aura finalement pas besoin de traitements après son opération
In a statement released Wednesday by the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV's doctors announced that the pontiff will ultimately not require treatment following his surgery last week, in which a cancerous tumor was removed from his lung.
Reassuring news for the faithful worldwide. Following his surgery last week, Pope Leo XIV will ultimately not require further treatment, his doctors announced. A cancerous tumor in his lung was removed.
The results of the tests showed that the Pope's cancer was "localized" and "further oncological examination confirmed that no additional treatment was necessary," the statement detailed.
Leo XIV, who was only elected last year as the first American pope, announced to his followers on October 11 that he would undergo surgery to remove a nodule.
The visit to Latin America is still on
The operation took place on October 13 at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome. Doctors later revealed that the tumor was cancerous and that they had had to remove part of his right lung.
The spiritual leader of the world's approximately 1.4 billion Catholics left the hospital on October 17 and said on Sunday that he would resume his duties "gradually."
He indicated that he wanted to maintain his long-planned visit to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, where he lived for two decades, from November 6 to 17.
