Pope Leo spent peaceful night in hospital after surgery, Vatican says
Doctors said the surgery removed all suspect tissue, and the Vatican has not said whether Pope Leo XIV will need more treatment.
- On Tuesday, surgeons at Gemelli Hospital in Rome removed the lower lobe of Pope Leo XIV's right lung during a successful 90-minute procedure, confirming a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma.
- A "localized nodule" discovered during a routine health check prompted the operation. Lead surgeon Stefano Margaritora and personal physician Luigi Carbone confirmed all suspicious tissue was removed without complications.
- Catholics worldwide, including leaders in Pittsburgh and Houston, are offering prayers for the 71-year-old pontiff. Bishop Michael Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth urged the community to pray for the Pope's "complete recovery" and continued ministry.
- The Vatican cancelled all public engagements until October 20 as the pontiff begins a week-long hospital recovery. Uncertainty remains whether he will proceed with his scheduled trip to South America next month.
- Dr. Marc Siegel, a FOX News medical contributor, noted the Pope's non-smoker status supports a positive outlook. Siegel stated that if the tumor is under three centimeters, the prognosis "can be as good as 90% or more.
