Pope Leo XIV needs no further lung cancer treatment, Vatican says

The Vatican said Pope Leo XIV will not need further treatment after surgery successfully removed the affected tissue from his left lung. Tests confirmed a localized pulmonary adenocarcinoma, and an oncological evaluation concluded that no additional therapy was required. The pope underwent surgery last week and left a Rome hospital on October 17. He resumed public appearances the following day, leading the Angelus prayer from the Apostolic Palace.
