Pope Leo will not need further cancer treatment — Vatican

Pope Leo XIV will not require further cancer treatment, his doctors announced on Wednesday, after the pontiff was diagnosed with lung cancer last week. The Vatican cited the pope's doctors, Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora, as saying the pope's disease was localized and that "no further treatment is necessary." This confirms earlier prognoses suggesting the pope's cancer was caught early. Pope Leo last week underwent surgery to remove the lower lobe of his right lung on October 13 at Rome's Gemelli hospital. The 71-year-old pontiff's doctors said the final histopathology and molecular testing reports on the tissue removed during his surgery were issued on Wednesday.
