Pope to be discharged days after lung cancer surgery

Pope Leo XIV will be discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital on Saturday afternoon, just four days after an operation to remove a cancerous growth from his lung. The Vatican said the Pope will give the traditional Angelus prayer and blessing to a crowd in St Peter's Square on Sunday, as he did last week when he surprised the world by announcing the surgery. On Friday, photographs were released of the Pope celebrating Mass and distributing communion in hospital for staff.

The surgery on Tuesday, which lasted for 90 minutes, included the removal of the lower lobe of the Pope's right lung.
