Pope Leo XIV underwent surgery on Tuesday to treat lung cancer, according to a statement released by the Vatican. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of the 71-year-old pontiff’s right lung during the procedure.
The Vatican confirmed the diagnosis and the subsequent operation but did not provide immediate details regarding the Pope’s prognosis or his expected recovery timeline. Medical staff are currently monitoring his condition following the intervention.
