Pope Leo XIV Diagnosed with Cancer, Undergoes Successful Lung Surgery
- Pope Leo XIV underwent successful 90-minute surgery to remove the lower lobe of his right lung after being diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, returning to his room on the 10th floor.
- During Sunday prayers at St Peter's Square, the Pope revealed, "Recently, during some medical tests, doctors discovered a localised nodule in my lung."
- Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, and while around 95% of lung nodules are benign, this specific growth required surgical intervention.
- This past week, Pope Leo declared capital punishment "inadmissible" following plans for the United States to livestream an execution, affirming his moral stance.
- In the United States, lung nodules are detected in 31% of chest CT scans, and the National Lung Cancer Screening program aims to improve early detection.
